Question

if 2/3 p + 6 =7/6 p , what is p?

Answer 1

bring p to 1side of the equation and solve

Answer 2

hint: subtract 2/3p from both side of the equation

Answer 3

so we have 6=7/6p-2/3p

Answer 4

hint: multiply both sides by "p"

Answer 5

r u guys sure?

Answer 6

@jdoe0001 u r wrong

Answer 7

if we follow what @lynfran stated we can arrive at the answer

Answer 8

hmm?

is the fellow even here? he doesn't seem to be saying anything

Answer 9

idk

Answer 10

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3p }+6=\frac{ 7 }{ 6p }\]\[6=\frac{ 7 }{ 6p }-\frac{ 2 }{ 3p }\]\[6=\frac{ 7-4 }{ 6p }\]\[6=\frac{ 3 }{ 6p }\]\[6=\frac{ 1 }{ 2p }\]multiply both side by 2p we get \[2p*6=1\]\...solve for p..

Answer 11

@LynFran woudnt it be like this?
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }p+6=\frac{ 7 }{ 6 }\]
\[6=\frac{ 7 }{ 6 }p-\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }p\] (you subtract 7/6 - 2/3 and get 1/2 )
\[6=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }p\]
\[p=?\]

Answer 12

@LynFran

Answer 13

no... then u will have p = 12
thats not the answer...lol

Answer 14

no?

Answer 15

continue frm where i left off
2p*6=1
12p=1
divide both sides by 12 to get the value of p...

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

but that would not check out right. you would get, if you plug in 1/12 in for p, 109/18 = 7/72.
wheras if you plug in 12 (the answer that i got ) you would get 14 = 14 clearly checking out.

Answer 18

or am i missing something?

Answer 19

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3(\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }) }+6=?\]

Answer 20

14

Answer 21

what ???

Answer 22

\[\frac{ 7 }{ 6(\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }) }=?\]

Answer 23

ok idk how you did that

Answer 24

lol..

Answer 25

but then woudnt that mean that im also right?

Answer 26

couse idk what i did wrong

Answer 27

ok lets check...\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3(12) }+6=?\]\[\frac{ 7 }{ 6(12) }=?\]

Answer 28

u was suppose to find a common denominator \[\frac{ 7 }{ 6p }-\frac{ 2 }{ 3p }\]

Answer 29

wasnt the question \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }P+6=\frac{ 7 }{ 6 }P\]
but you solved for \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3P }+6=\frac{ 7 }{ 6p }\]

Answer 30

isnt there a differance?

Answer 31

so \[\frac{ (7*1)-(2*2) }{ 6p }\]

Answer 32

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2p }\]

Answer 33

and remember p" is in the denominator so we multiply by 2p to both sides of equation

Answer 34

so 2p*6=1

Answer 35

but in the original problem how do we know that the p was on the denominator?

Answer 36

well it looked so to me lol...could be wrong then...

Answer 37

if its not then ur right..

Answer 38

i understand what you were doing tho

Answer 39

ok..

Answer 40
