Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (b) p = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following equation :

$\dfrac{5}{3p}+\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{5+p}{2p}.$

We will be solving the given equation for the value of the unknown variable p.

We have

$\dfrac{5}{3p}+\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{5+p}{2p}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5+2p}{3p}=\dfrac{5+p}{2p}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5+2p}{3}=\dfrac{5+p}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2(5+2p)=3(5+p)\\\\\Rightarrow 10+4p=15+3p\\\\\Rightarrow 4p-3p=15-10\\\\\Rightarrow p=5.$

Thus, the required value of p is 5. And, so the solution of the given equation is p = 5.

Option (b) is CORRECT.
