Solve the equation involving rational expressions:
\[
\frac{5 + 2}{p} = \frac{17}{p}
\]
(Note: '/' represents the fraction symbol.)
Answer (3)
5 + p 2 = p 17 ; p = 0 p 5 p + p 2 = p 17 p 5 p + 2 = p 17 ⟺ 5 p + 2 = 17 5 p = 17 − 2 5 p = 15 / : 5 p = 3
5+2/p=17/p 5+2/p-17/p=0 5+(2-17)/p=0 5-15/p=0 5=15/p p=15/5 p=3 I don't really know if it's right though
The equation p 5 + 2 = p 17 simplifies to an impossible statement, indicating there is no solution. This is because for rational expressions, the denominator cannot equal zero. Therefore, the only restriction is that p cannot be zero, which results in no valid solutions for the equation.
