Question
Specify any values that must be excluded from the solution set and then solve the equation.$$\frac{2 p}{p-1}=3+\frac{2}{p-1}$$
Step 1
Since the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero, we set the denominator of the fractions equal to zero and solve for $p$: $$ p-1=0 $$ This gives us $p=1$. Therefore, $p=1$ must be excluded from the solution set. Show more…
