Question

p+7÷p-6=1/3
plz answer with clear explanation
solve and verify it​

Answer 1

Answer:

3p + 21= p - 6

2p = -15

p = -15/2

Answer 2

Answer:

-27/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(p+7)/(p-6) = 1/3

now, cross multiply it,

3(p+7) = p-6

or, 3p + 21 = p - 6

or, 3p - p = - 6 - 21

or, 2p = -27

p = -27/2

To verify,

p + 7 = -27/2 + 7

= -13/2

p - 6 = -27/2 - 6

= -39/2

so, (p+7)/(p-6) = (-13/2)/(-39/2)

= 1/3
