Question

Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5

Answer 1

Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5

3/4 of  p subtracted by 2 is 5/6 of a r plus 5

3/4 of p - 2 is 5/6 of r + 5

$\frac{3}{4} p-2= \frac{5}{6} r+5$   <--- answer?

$\frac{3}{4} p= \frac{5}{6} r+7$    

$\frac{3p}{4} = \frac{5r}{6} +7$

$\frac{3p}{4}* \frac{6}{5r} = 7$

$\frac{18p}{20r} = 7$

$\frac{9p}{10r} = 7$

$\frac{p}{r} = 7* \frac{10}{9}$

$\frac{p}{r} = \frac{70}{9}$   <-- answer?

Hope this helps
