Question

3p - 2 /4 - [2p +3]/3 + p= 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you collect like terms by taking 2/4 to the other side:

                                3p-(2p+3)/3 +p=(2/3)+(2/4)

You then find the LCM of the denominators of both sides and simplify:

                               {9p-(2p+3)+3p}/3 = (8+6)/12

                                (9p-2p+3p-3)/3 = 14/12

                                 (10p-3)/3 = 14/2

Cross multiply

                       14(3) = 12(10p-3)

                        42=120p-36

                         120p=42+36

                          120p=78

Divide both sides by 120 to get the value for p:

                         p=13/20
