Question

Factor 1/3 out of 1/3p-2/3 please answer this! Easy 20 points!

Answer 1

`(1)/(3) ((1)/(p) - 2)`

Explanation:

Given the equation =
`(1)/(3p) - (2)/(3)`

Required: To factor out 1/3;

`(1)/(3p) - (2)/(3)`

1/3 is common to both sides;

So, 1/3 is a common factor

`(1)/(3) ((1)/(p) - 2)`

To solve for the value of p;

`(1)/(3) ((1)/(p) - 2)` = 0

`(1)/(p) - 2 = 0`

`(1)/(p) = 2`

`1 = 2p`

`p = (1)/(2)`
