Question

Solve for p and simplify

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

`-(1)/(2) + p = (5)/(8)`

Add 1/2 to both sides.

`-(1)/(2) + p + (1)/(2) = (5)/(8) + (1)/(2)`

`p = (5)/(8) + (4)/(8)`

`p = (9)/(8)`

Answer 2

`Given : (-1)/(2) + p = (5)/(8)`

`\implies p = (1)/(2) + (5)/(8)`

`\implies p = (4 + 5)/(8)`

`\implies p = (9)/(8)`
