Question

Solve the equation . (-2 1/7)p=-3

Answer 1

Answer:

p = $\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

change the mixed number to an improper fraction

- 2 $\frac{1}{7}$ = - $\frac{15}{7}$, hence

- $\frac{15}{7}$ p = - 3 ( multiply both sides by 7 )

- 15p = - 21 ( divide both sides by - 15 )

p = $\frac{-21}{-15}$ = $\frac{7}{5}$
