Question

What is the solution for p in the equation?

1/3p + 1/2p +7 = 7/6p +5+4

Option A. p= 6
Option B. p= -1
Option C. p= -6
Option D. p= 1

Answer 1

p=-6

Explanation:

Answer 2

p=-6

Explanation:

the first thing to do is to add all like terms for example
`(1)/(3)`p+
`(1)/(2)`p would turn into
`(2)/(6)`p+
`(3)/(6)`p to make it so we can add them together which after we add both of those p's together we get
`(5)/(6)`p which now we have
`(5)/(6)`p+7=
`(7)/(6)`p+5+4 which now we add 5 and 4 which we get 9 which now the equation looks like
`(5)/(6)`p+7=
`(7)/(6)`p+9 which now we subtract 7 from 9 and we are left with 2 so now the equation is
`(5)/(6)`p=
`(7)/(6)`p+2 which now we subtract
`(7)/(6)`p from
`(5)/(6)`p and we are left with -
`(2)/(6)`p=2 which now we divide both sides by -
`(2)/(6)` which makes the equation look like p=2÷-
`(2)/(6)` which equals -6 so all we are left with is p=-6
