Question

What are the values of p and q?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If we multiply two numbers together, we get a product.  A product is the same as a multiple.

If we divide two numbers, we get a factor of the number we are dividing.  A factor is the same as a divisor.

Knowing this, we can create two equations.

pq = 210                  eq1

p/q = 14                   eq2

We have a system of equations.  If we substitute eq2 into eq1 so the eq1 is in terms of eq1, we obtain

(14q)q = 210

14q2 = 210

Solve for q from this equation.

q2 = 15

Square-root both sides of the equation.

q = √15
