Basic Math Examples

$\frac{1}{3} + p = 4$

Step 1

Subtract $\frac{1}{3}$ from both sides of the equation.

$p = 4 - \frac{1}{3}$

Step 2

To write $4$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$p = 4 \cdot \frac{3}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$

Step 3

Combine $4$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$p = \frac{4 \cdot 3}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$

Step 4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$p = \frac{4 \cdot 3 - 1}{3}$
