You can put this solution on YOUR website!

First of all, from your writing I can not read your formula:

is it p+-+7Q%2F3 or %28p-7Q%29%2F3 in the left side ?


It is MANDATORY to use PARENTHESES when you post the formulas to this site, otherwise the formulas are UNREADABLE.

Hey, I got TWO messages from you:

1.
Comment from student: Thank you very much Ikleyn. I am new in submiting questions on this site and I don't know
how to enter the division correctly. the first form is correct p-(7Q/3)=(p+5/2)+1.Thank you very much Ikleyn.
I am new in submiting questions on this site and I don't know how to enter the division correctly.
the first form is correct p-(7Q/3)=(p+5/2)+1.


2.
Comment from student: I forgot to mention that the problem is asking to solve for p so, p-(7Q/3)=(p+5/2) for p. Thank you again....

They contain DIFFERENT equations, and now I missed what to do . . .


Can you submit your problem again ?


Do not forget use parentheses properly, accurately and correctly . . .
