Question 8 • Mathematics I

What is the solution to the linear equation? 2 fifths plus p is equal to 4 fifths plus 3 fifths p

Answer
A
p is equal to 1
B
p is equal to 2
C
p is equal to 8
D
p is equal to 10

Explanation

Start with 2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p. Subtract 3/5p from both sides and subtract 2/5 from both sides to get 2/5p = 2/5. Dividing both sides by 2/5 gives p = 1, so the correct choice is A, p is equal to 1.
