Solve 3p+1-2p-1/3=5p/12

$$\frac { 3 p + 1 - 2 p - 1 } { 3 } = \frac { 5 p } { 12 }$$

Solve for p

$$p=0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,12.

$$4\left(3p+1-2p-1\right)=5p$$

Combine 3p and -2p to get p.

$$4\left(p+1-1\right)=5p$$

Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.

$$4p=5p$$

Subtract 5p from both sides.

$$4p-5p=0$$

Combine 4p and -5p to get -p.

$$-p=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -1 is not equal to 0, p must be equal to 0.

$$p=0$$
