You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To solve:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.1p+2.1=4.6p-1.9+0.5p The decimals could be bothering you so why don't we multiply every term by 10 to get rid of the decimals and we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p+21=46p-19+5p Let's next get our p's together :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p+21=51p-19 Now we will subtract p from both sides of the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0+21=51p-p-19=
\n" ); document.write( "21=50p-19 Now we will add 19 to both sides to get our numbers together:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "21+19=50p-19+19 =
\n" ); document.write( "40=50p or
\n" ); document.write( "p=4/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ck\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(.1)(4/5)+(2.1)=(4.6)(4/5)-(1.9)+(.5)(4/5) multiply everything by 5:
\n" ); document.write( "(.1)(4)+(2.1)(5)=(4.6)(4)-(1.9)(5)+(.5)(4)=
\n" ); document.write( "(.4)+(10.5)=(18.4)-(9.5)+(2)
\n" ); document.write( "10.9=10.9\r
