Answer:

p+5+7=p+12

p/(p+12) ×900=120

900p=120(p+12)

90p=12(p+12)

90p=12p+144

90p-12p=144

78p=144

p=144/78

Answer:

x=1 and x=-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2-2x-1=0\\\\3(x^2-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3})=0\\ \\3(x^2-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{9})=3(\frac{4}{9})\\ \\ 3(x^2-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{9})=\frac{4}{3}\\ \\ 3(x-\frac{1}{3})^2=\frac{4}{3}\\ \\(x-\frac{1}{3})^2=\frac{4}{9}\\ \\x-\frac{1}{3}=\pm\frac{2}{3}$
