Answer 2

Given:

p = x+1 and 4p-3/2 - 3x+2/5 = 3/2.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

As we have given the value of p = x + 1 and an equation

$4p - \frac{3}{2} - 3x + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \: \: \: (i)$

So, after putting the value of 'p' in equation (i), we have

$4(x + 1) - \frac{3}{2} - 3x + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{2}$

$4x + 4 - \frac{3}{2} - 3x + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{2}$

$x + 4 - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{2}$

Multiplying 10 on both sides, we have

$10x + 40 - 15 + 4 = 15$

$10x = -14$

$x = \frac{-14}{10}$

$x = \frac{-7}{5}$

Hence, the value of x is -7/5.
