Answer by KMST(5328)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Maybe you meant 5/2=(p+12)/2p, which is the proper way to write on just one line.
Or maybe you really meant 5/2=p+12/2p, which can be written as .
Or maybe there were two variables: P and p.
I'll try to answer the first two options:

To solve
I know that cannot be zero, because to expression on the right side does not exist when .
I would start by multiplying both side times to get rid of denominators.
I get the equivalent equation
-->
Next, I subtract from both sides of the equal sign to get the equivalent equation
-->-->
Finally, I divide both sides of the equation by 4 to get
-->-->

To solve , I first simplify:
-->.

Unfortunately, that equation does not have any real solution.
