Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5
3/4 of p subtracted by 2 is 5/6 of a r plus 5
3/4 of p - 2 is 5/6 of r + 5
[tex] \frac{3}{4} p-2= \frac{5}{6} r+5[/tex] <--- answer?
[tex] \frac{3}{4} p= \frac{5}{6} r+7[/tex]
[tex] \frac{3p}{4} = \frac{5r}{6} +7[/tex]
[tex] \frac{3p}{4}* \frac{6}{5r} = 7[/tex]
[tex] \frac{18p}{20r} = 7[/tex]
[tex] \frac{9p}{10r} = 7[/tex]
[tex] \frac{p}{r} = 7* \frac{10}{9} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{p}{r} = \frac{70}{9} [/tex] <-- answer?
Hope this helps
