Question

solve the equation and check your result 8p/7p+1=5/4

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

8p / 7p+1 = 5/4
4 x 8p = 5 (7p+1)
32p = 35p + 5
32p - 35p = 5
-3p = 5
p = -5/3

Checking :
LHS = 8x(-5/3) / 7x(-5/3)+1
= -40/3 / -35/3+1
= -40/3 / -32/3
= -40/-32
= 5/4
= RHS

Hence proved.

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

8P / 7P + 1 = 5/4




8P = 5 ( 7P + 1 ) /4





8P × 4 = 35P + 5




32P = 35P + 5





35P - 32P = -5


3P = -5


P = -5/3
