You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve for p: $\"%283p%29%2F%28%28p-3%29%29\"$ = $\"2+%2B+9%2F%28%28p-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by (p-3), this clears the denominators, and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "3p = 2(p-3) + 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3p = 2p - 6 + 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3p - 2p = -6 + 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "p = 3; however, this cannot be a solution, it would make the denominators = 0
\n" ); document.write( "There is no solution \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
