Question

solve 5/(5-p) - p^2/(5-p) = -2

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

not one

Answer 3

just a min i will solve it

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 5-p }-\frac{ p^2 }{ 5-p }=-2\]

\[\frac{ 5-p^2 }{ 5-p }=-2\]

\[5-p^2=-2(5-p)\]

\[5-p^2=-10+2p\]

\[p^2+2p-15=0\]

\[p^2+5p-3p-15=0\]

\[p(p+5)-3(p+5)=0\]

\[(p+5)(p-3)=0\]

\[p=-\]

Answer 5

\[p=-5,3\]

Answer 6

Answer 7

how 5-p^2=(5-p)(5+p)

Answer 8

(5-p)(5+p)=25-p^2

Answer 9
