Question

Solve the equation or inequality. Check your solutions. (p/p-2)=(2/5)
I NEED HELP!!!

Answer 1

\[\frac{ p }{ p-2 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\] right?

Answer 2

so you basically cross-multiply to get
2(p-2) = 5p
so you open the brackets and solve for p
and to check all you have to do is to replace the p's with -4/3 and see if you get 2/5 :)
