Question

Solve for q using both equation 1 and 2 question in pic

Answer 1

Answer:

p=1/8     q=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2p+7q=5

-6p+35q=51/2

cancel out a variable

(-5)(-2p+7q=5)

-6p+35q=51/2

10p-35q=-25

-6p+35q=51/2  =

4p=1/2

4p/4=1/2  /4

p=1/8

substitute p=1/8 into one of the equation to find q

-2p+7q=5

-2(1/8)+7q=5

-1/4+7q=5

7q=5+1/4

7q=21/4

q= 21/4  /7

q=3/4
