$\dfrac{2}{3}\left(x+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5}{2}\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5}{2}\qquad|\text{multiply both sides by LCM(2,\ 3,\ 4)=12}\\\\12\cdot\dfrac{2}{3}x+12\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}-12\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}=12\cdot\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\4\cdot2x+4-3=6\cdot5\\\\8x+1=30\qquad|\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\8x=29\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\x=\dfrac{29}{8}$

Solve for p: 3/8 +p/8= 3 1/8

Ivenika [448]

Solve for p:
p/8 + 3/8 = 25/8
p/8 + 3/8 = (p + 3)/8:
(p + 3)/8 = 25/8

Multiply both sides of (p + 3)/8 = 25/8 by 8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = (8×25)/8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8 (p + 3))/8 = 8/8×(p + 3) = p + 3:p + 3 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = 8/8×25 = 25:
p + 3 = 25

Subtract 3 from both sides:
p + (3 - 3) = 25 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
p = 25 - 3
25 - 3 = 22:
Answer: p = 22
