12 (p - 2 \frac{1}{3}) = - 8

p = 1 \frac{2}{3}

Decimal Notation

p = 1.66666 \dots

Solution steps

12 (p - 2 \frac{1}{3}) = - 8

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}

12 (p - \frac{7}{3}) = - 8

Divide both sides by

p = \frac{5}{3}

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers:

\frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3}

p = 1 \frac{2}{3}

x, x + y + z = 5

\frac{1}{3} (\frac{3}{4} e - 12) + 3 e = 6 - \frac{1}{2} e

x, x - 4 y = - 1

5 (2 z - 1) = - (3 z - 21)

y, y + 4 = x
