Gary knows that p = 2 1/2 is a solution to one of the following equations. Which one has p = 2 1/2 as its solution?


p + 2 1/2 = 5 p - 2 1/2 = 5


2 + p = 2 1/2 4 - p = 2 1/2

Respuesta :

the answer is
p + 2 1/2 = 5 because if you plug in 2 1/2 in the equation you get 5 as your answer

Answer:

[tex]p+2\frac{1}{2}=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve the equations and see which one has a solution of

[tex]p=2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

the first equation is:

[tex]p+2\frac{1}{2}=5[/tex]

i will chanche [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for [tex]2.5[/tex] which is the same:

[tex]p+2.5=5[/tex]

and clearing for p:

[tex]p=5-2.5\\p=2.5[/tex]

in this equation we gget that the solution  is

[tex]p=2.5=2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

which is the solution we where looking for.

and also, when the p is cleared in the other equations, a different result is obtained from the one desired

So the answer is:

[tex]p+2\frac{1}{2}=5[/tex]
