Question

What is the solution to the linear equation?

2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p

a. p = 1
b. p = 2
c. p = 8
d. p = 10

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{2}{5} + p = \dfrac{4}{5} + \dfrac{3}{5}p\)

Subtract \(\dfrac{2}{5}\) to both sides..what's \(\dfrac{4}{5} - \dfrac{2}{5}\)? @justsmile531

Answer 2

P=2

Answer 3

4-2 is 2

Answer 4

Look your ending equation is 2/5p divided by 4/5 and then you divide that getting p=2
