Solve p/x-y/2+3

$$\frac { p } { x } - \frac { y } { 2 } + 3$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{y}{2}+\frac{p}{x}+3$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x and 2 is 2x. Multiply \frac{p}{x} times \frac{2}{2}. Multiply \frac{y}{2} times \frac{x}{x}.

$$\frac{2p}{2x}-\frac{yx}{2x}+3$$

Since \frac{2p}{2x} and \frac{yx}{2x} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2p-yx}{2x}+3$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 3 times \frac{2x}{2x}.

$$\frac{2p-yx}{2x}+\frac{3\times 2x}{2x}$$

Since \frac{2p-yx}{2x} and \frac{3\times 2x}{2x} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2p-yx+3\times 2x}{2x}$$

Do the multiplications in 2p-yx+3\times 2x.

$$\frac{2p-yx+6x}{2x}$$

Factor

$$\frac{-y+\frac{2p}{x}+6}{2}$$
