Question

1/2p+1/3=3

Answer 1

\(\frac{p}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = 3 \)

Answer 2

1. Re-write 3 as 6/2 :

\(\frac{p}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{2}\)

Answer 3

Subtract p/2 from both sides to get:
\(\frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{2} - \frac{p}{2}\)

Answer 4

Combine fractions on the right side to get:
\(\frac{1}{3} = \frac{6-p}{2}\)

Answer 5

Cross multiply to get:

2 = 3(6-p)

Distribute to get:

2 = 18 - 3p

Add 3p to both sides; subtract 2 from both sides to get:

3p = 18 - 2

3p = 16

Divide both sides by 2 to get:

\(p = \frac{16}{3}\)
