Answer:
3 2/3 albums
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the stamp album has 12 stamps (12 is just an arbitrary number used to make calculation easier). If Linda collects half of the album, it means she has 6 stamps. If that is the case, Becky has 6 * 7 1/3 stamps. Since 7 1/3 is equivalent to 22/3, we can determine that Becky has collected 44 stamps (6*22/3). There are 12 stamps in one album, which means there are 44 stamps in 3 2/3 (11/3) albums:
Since the ratio of stamps to albums is constant, the calculation above demonstrates that the number of albums it takes to have 44 stamps is 3 2/3. Please note that the numbers I used are arbitrary. If you substitute 12 for a variable x, you will get the same result.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you want to get q only and q appears in both side of the equation. Try to isolate q to one side.
1) Expand 2(q+p)
2q + 2p = 1 + 5q
2) Move all q terms to one side
5q - 2q = 2p - 1
3q = 2p - 1
3) Divide 3 on both side (to isolate q)
q =
Re-write with a common denominator, in this case 12:
