What is the value of p in the proportion below?


1/3 = P-2/p+8

1 answer

I will take it just the way you typed it
times 3p
p = 3pP - 6 + 24p
p - 24p - 3pP = -6
-23p - 3pP = -6
23p + 3pP = 6
p(23+3P)=6
p = 6/(23+3P)

perhaps you meant:
1/3 = (P-2)/(p+8)
or
1/3 = P - 2/(p+8)
or
...
or perhaps the capital P is the same as the little p
or

We can't tell, the answer would be drastically different each time
