We can solve this equation for p by first isolating the variable term in the denominator of the left-hand side:
1/(1 + 2/p) = 2
Multiplying both sides by (1 + 2/p) gives:
1 = 2(1 + 2/p)
Expanding the right-hand side gives:
1 = 2 + 4/p
Subtracting 2 from both sides gives:
-1 = 4/p
Dividing both sides by -1 gives:
1/p = -1/4
Multiplying both sides by p gives:
p * (1/p) = -1/4 * p
Simplifying gives:
1 = -p/4
Multiplying both sides by -4 gives:
-4 = p
Therefore, the value of p is -4.
Answer: A
1/(1 + 2/p) = 2
Multiplying both sides by (1 + 2/p) gives:
1 = 2(1 + 2/p)
Expanding the right-hand side gives:
1 = 2 + 4/p
Subtracting 2 from both sides gives:
-1 = 4/p
Dividing both sides by -1 gives:
1/p = -1/4
Multiplying both sides by p gives:
p * (1/p) = -1/4 * p
Simplifying gives:
1 = -p/4
Multiplying both sides by -4 gives:
-4 = p
Therefore, the value of p is -4.

\(\frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{p}}=2\)
\(1 = 2(1 + \frac{2}{p})\)
\(1 = 2 + \frac{4}{p}\)
\(1 - 2 = \frac{4}{p}\)
\(-1 = \frac{4}{p}\)
\(-1*p = 4\)
\(-p = 4\)
\(p = -4\)
The answer is A
\(1 = 2(1 + \frac{2}{p})\)
\(1 = 2 + \frac{4}{p}\)
\(1 - 2 = \frac{4}{p}\)
\(-1 = \frac{4}{p}\)
\(-1*p = 4\)
\(-p = 4\)
\(p = -4\)
The answer is A
