Answer:

-5(p+3/5)=-4 what is the answer

The answer is P = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question -5(p+3/5)=-4 applying the law of BODMAS we will use -5 to open the bracket

we have [-5(p) + -5×3/5] = -4

-5p - 3 =-4

collecting the like terms

we have; -5p = -4 + 3

-5p = -1

divide both sides by -5

we have; -5p/-5 = -1/-5

the minus sign cancels out and we have

p= 1/5

check your answer by sloting the value of p into the question -5(p+3/5)=-4

-5(1/5 + 3/5) = -4

-4=-4

Question:

What is the solution to the linear equation?

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x$

Answer:

$x = \frac{-5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x$

Required

Simplify

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x$

Add $\frac{1}{2}$ to both sides

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{2}$

$x - \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{2}$

Subtract $\frac{5}{6}x$ from both sides

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{6}x= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6}x$

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{6}x= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{6}x- \frac{5}{6}x$

$x - \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{6}x= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2}$

Take LCMs

$\frac{6x - 4x -5x}{6}= \frac{2+3}{6}$

$\frac{-3x}{6}= \frac{5}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6 * \frac{-3x}{6}= \frac{5}{6} * 6$

$-3x= 5$

Divide both sides by -3

$\frac{-3x}{-3}= \frac{5}{-3}$

$x = \frac{5}{-3}$

$x = \frac{-5}{3}$
