Question

X+3/3-x-2/2=1. Hence find p, if 1/x+p=1

Answer 1

Answer:

5/6 is the correct answer of this question

Answer 2

Given,

$(x + 3) \div 3 -(x - 2) \div 2 = 1$

$1 \div x \: + p = 1$

To find,

The value of p.

Solution,

The value of p will be 5/6.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

$(x + 3) \div 3 - (x - 2) \div 2 = 1$

Taking the LCM of 3 and 2 and adding the two fractions,

2(x+3)-3(x-2)/6 = 1

(2x+6-3x+6)/6 = 1

(12-x)/6 = 1

Using the cross multiplication method,

(12-x) = 6

-x = 6-12 ( Moving 12 from the left-hand side to the right-hand side result in the change of the sign from plus to minus.)

-x = -6

x = 6

Putting the value of x in 1/x + p = 1,

1/6 + p = 1

p = (1-1/6)

p = (6-1)/6

p = 5/6

Hence, the value of p is 5/6.
