Solve 10-0.5p=0.10+2p

$$10 - 0.5 p = 0.10 + 2 p$$

Solve for p

$$p=3.96$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2p from both sides.

$$10-0.5p-2p=0.1$$

Combine -0.5p and -2p to get -2.5p.

$$10-2.5p=0.1$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$-2.5p=0.1-10$$

Subtract 10 from 0.1 to get -9.9.

$$-2.5p=-9.9$$

Divide both sides by -2.5.

$$p=\frac{-9.9}{-2.5}$$

Expand \frac{-9.9}{-2.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$p=\frac{-99}{-25}$$

Fraction \frac{-99}{-25} can be simplified to \frac{99}{25} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$p=\frac{99}{25}$$
