Answer:

p = 17 and -15

Step-by-step explanation:

If q is directly proportional to (p-1)², this can be written as;

q = k(p-1)²

If q = 20 when p = 3

20 = k(3-1)²

20 = 2²k

20 = 4k

k = 5

To get p wen q = 80

80 = 5(p-1)²

16 = (p-1)²

p-1 = ±√16

p-1 = 16 and p-1 = -16

p = 17 and p=-16+1

p = 17 and -15

Solve the equation for me<br> 9y=8(y+11)
IrinaVladis [17]
To start, first distribute 8 to (y+11) which would look something like this:
9y=8y+88
Now, subtract 8y from both sides in order to solve for and isolate the y value. This would result in your answer, y=88.
