Question

If p-3/p+4 = p+1/p+2 , then the value of P is

Answer 1

Answer:

∴ p = 5/(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

p-3/p+4 = p+1/p+2

or, (p-3) (p+2) = (p+1) (p+4) [∵ cross multiply]

or, p(p+2) - 3 (p+2) = p(p+4) + 1(p+4)

or, p² + 2p- 3p - 6= p² +4p + p + 4

or, p²- p -6 = p² +5p+4

or, p² -p² -p-5p - 6 -4 = 0

or, -6p-10 = 0

or, -6p = 10

or, p = 10/ (-6)

∴ p = 5/ (-3)
