Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!!!!
5/3p + 2/3=5+p/2p

Answer 1

Is the equation this?

\[\Large \frac{5}{3}p + \frac{2}{3} = 5 + \frac{p}{2p}\]

Answer 2

close, the p is with the 3 in the first one

Answer 3

so

\[\Large \frac{5}{3p} + \frac{2}{3} = 5 + \frac{p}{2p}\]

??

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Are you able to identify the LCD?

Answer 6

2?

Answer 7

2 is somewhat part of it

Answer 8

it's actually 3*2p = 6p

Answer 9

what would happen if you multiplied both sides by the LCD 6p?

Answer 10

35p^2/18p^2+12p/18p=35p+6p^2/12p^2

right??

Answer 11

Multiply both sides by 6p to get


\[\Large \frac{5}{3p} + \frac{2}{3} = 5 + \frac{p}{2p}\]


\[\Large 6p \left(\frac{5}{3p} + \frac{2}{3}\right) = 6p \left(5 + \frac{p}{2p}\right)\]


\[\Large 6p\left(\frac{5}{3p}\right) + 6p\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) = 6p \left(5\right) + 6p \left(\frac{p}{2p}\right)\]


\[\Large \frac{30p}{3p} + \frac{12p}{3} = 30p + \frac{6p^2}{2p}\]


\[\Large 10 + 4p = 30p + 3p\]


Notice how the fractions are now gone.

Answer 12

Do you see how I'm getting that?

Answer 13

sort of..

Answer 14

Which step is confusing you?

Answer 15
