Answer:

p=3 and q=4 the mistake was in calculating 3q-4q-10=6 let's solve first.

Step-by-step explanation:

if p= 2q-5, substitute the p in the equation3q-2p=6 as

3q-2(2q-5)=6

solve the equation in parentheses :

3q-2(2q-5)\\

multiply  -2 \\ by (2q-5)\\ it will equal to:  3q-4q+10

now we want to let all unknown digits alone, so we will take 10 to the other side with a different sign it will be as:

3q-4q=6-10

now we will solve it:

3q-4q=6-10\\q=-4 at this part, the given equation was wrong in the paper.

we don't want the digit to be negative so we will do it like this:

\frac{-q}{-1} =\frac{-4}{-1 } = q=4

now that we found q we will substitute it to find p\\:

p=2q-5\\q=4\\p=2(4)-5\\p=8-5\\p=3

overall the mistake was in calculating q instead of putting 3q-4q=6-10  

he/she put a different sign in front of the digit like :3q-4q-10=6

so when he/she flipped  -10 it became positive and instead of subtracting he/she added it.
