If you eliminate the parentheses, then add mq, you have
... y - p + mq = mx
Then dividing by m gives you the equation for x:
... x = (y - p + mq)/m
Please help!!! I still have about 8 more to do ;;

the question in English
Juan has blue cubes with a 55 mm edge and red cubes with a 45 mm edge. He stacks them in two columns, one of each color; he wants the two columns to be the same height. How many cubes does he need, as a minimum, of each color?
Let
x---------> the number of blue cubes
y--------> the number of red cubes
we know that
Juan wants that the two columns to be the same height
so
solve for y
I proceed to calculate a table, assuming values of x to calculate the value of y. When the values of x and y are whole numbers, I will have found the solution.
the table in the attached figure
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
9 blue cubes
11 red cubes
