Question

5/7p+1=1/5 Solve the equation by first clearing the fractions

Answer 1

Answer:

$p = \frac{ - 25}{28} \\ \:$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve equation by first clearing the fractions

$\frac{5}{7p} + 1 = \frac{1}{5}$

take LCM in left hand side

$\frac{5 + 7p}{7p} = \frac{1}{5}$

cross multiply

$5(5 + 7p) = 1 \times 7p \\ \\ 25 + 35p = 7p \\ \\ 25 = 7p - 35p \\ \\ 25 = - 28p \\ \\ p = \frac{ - 25}{28}$

Hope it helps you.
