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]
