Full solution

Q. PP12=1P13 \frac{P-P-1}{2}=\frac{1-P-1}{3} Find PP
  1. Simplify Equation: Simplify both sides of the equation.\newline(PP1)/2=(1P1)/3(P - P - 1) / 2 = (1 - P - 1) / 3\newline1/2=(P)/3\Rightarrow -1 / 2 = (-P) / 3
  2. Cross-Multiply: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions.\newline1×3=P×2-1 \times 3 = -P \times 2\newline3=2P\Rightarrow -3 = -2P
  3. Solve for P: Solve for P.\newline3=2P-3 = -2P\newlineP=32\Rightarrow P = \frac{-3}{-2}\newlineP=1.5\Rightarrow P = 1.5
