Question

Solve for P I am so confused

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{p=-\dfrac{3}{2}q}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(p+q)=p\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\3p+3q=p\qquad\text{subtract}\ 3q\ \text{from both sides}\\\\3p+3q-3q=p-3q\\\\3p=p-3q\qquad\text{subtract}\ p\ \text{from both sides}\\\\3p-p=p-p-3q\\\\2p=-3q\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2p}{2}=\dfrac{-3q}{2}\\\\\boxed{p=-\dfrac{3}{2}q}$

Answer 2

Answer:

3q/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3p+3q=p

2p=-3q

p=-3q/2
