\frac{25}{p - 16} = \frac{9}{p}

p = - 9

Solution steps

\frac{25}{p - 16} = \frac{9}{p}

Cross multiply

25 p = 9 p - 144

Move

9 p

to the left side

16 p = - 144

Divide both sides by

16

p = - 9

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

p = 16, p = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

p = - 9

10 + (\frac{1}{x} - 2) = 20

4 = \frac{9.6}{x}

\frac{40}{x - 2} - \frac{40}{x} = 1

99.99 (\frac{x}{10 + x}) = 0.825
