## anonymous one year ago Can Someone Explain This To Me? If 2/3p+6=7/6p, what is the value of p

1. IrishBoy123

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

2. anonymous

yes are you using latex I didn't know that worked here

anyways STEP 1 get the p terms on one side of the + sign and the numbers on the other side

14. anonymous

can you just post not draw I cannot understand your drawings

15. IrishBoy123

ok the question or latex?

16. anonymous

the question

17. anonymous

I started to solve, I combined to find 11/6p=6, but do I divide 11/6 by 6 IDK

18. IrishBoy123

well, you need the p's on one side of the = sign and the number on the other so you need to do something that will move, say, the $$\frac{2}{3}p$$ from LHS to RHS of = sign

19. anonymous

I think I need to divide 11/6 by the reciprocal or something?

20. IrishBoy123

yes, you just moved it across, it changes sign too |dw:1440166260504:dw|

OK you are on mobile, right?

23. anonymous

mobile?

24. IrishBoy123

drawings don't show on mobile, it is very annoying

25. IrishBoy123

anyways you have $$\frac{2}{3} p+ 6 = \frac{7}{6} p$$ you do: $$\frac{2}{3} p - \frac{2}{3} p + 6 = \frac{7}{6} p - \frac{2}{3} p$$ to get the p's on the same side

26. anonymous

so p=12?

$$\huge \checkmark$$
