anonymous one year ago If 2/3p + 6 = 7/6p, what is the value of p?

1. anonymous

Any tips will he helpful thank you

2. anonymous

$\frac{2}{3}p+6=\frac{7}{6}p$?

3. anonymous

yes

4. anonymous

ok that was wrong, sorry multiply both sides by 6 and start with $4p+36=7p$ now it takes only two steps

5. anonymous

ok

6. anonymous

what should I do next?

7. anonymous

Now you just need to combine like terms.

8. anonymous

Bring the 4p over to the 7p by subtracting both sides by 4p.

9. anonymous

so is it 3p?

10. anonymous

Yes on the right side it's 3p. Now the equation looks like this:$36=3p$

11. anonymous

Do you know what to do then?

12. anonymous

are you supposed to fing the p?

13. anonymous

Yes lol that was what we were doing in the first place. :)

14. anonymous

Divide both sides by 3 so you can get p by itself.

15. anonymous

so divide 3p by 3?

16. anonymous

Yes.

17. anonymous

is that 1

18. anonymous

Well it would equal 1p since the p was never cancelled out when you divided by 3. Now divide 36 by 3.

19. anonymous

that's 12

20. anonymous

Yes that is right! Now you have:$12=p$

21. anonymous

There's how you get it! :)

22. anonymous
