Verified Answer :

\(p=1\)

To better understand the problem see the attached figure

we have

\(\frac{2}{5}+p=\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}p\)

Multiply by \(5\) both sides

\(5(\frac{2}{5}+p)=5(\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}p)\)

\(2+5p=4+3p\)

Group terms that contain the same variable p and move the constant to the other side of the equation

\(5p-3p=4-2\)

\(2p=2\)

\(p=1\)

Answer:

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an equation

\(\frac{2}{5}+p=\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}p\)

We have to find the solution of given linear equation .

Subtraction property of equality

\(p-\frac{3}{5}p+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}[5}\)

\(\frac{5p-3p}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\)

Combine like terms

\(\frac{2}{5}p+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\)

\(\frac{2}{5}p=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\)

Subtraction property of equality

\(\frac{2}{5}p=\frac{2}{5}\)

When a fraction term in multiply  goes  form one side to other side then the term will be reciprocal.

\(p=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{5}{2}\)

\(p=1\)

Hence, p=1
