SOLUTION: What is the answer to the formula p-7Q/3=p+5/2+1? I get for an answer p=14Q+21/0 However the teacher suggests p=21+14Q/3. Could you include steps please?
Thank you so much

Thank you so much Answer by ikleyn(52884) (Show Source):
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 . . .
