What is the solution set when you use the comparison method on "2p + q=1" and "9p + 3q + 3 = 0"

Question

austinl · Answer

I'm not sure what the comparison method is. I will have to do some research.

amistre64 · Answer

i think its another name for elimination

amistre64 · Answer

either that or a trial and error system ...

austinl · Answer

The only two methods that I am familiar with are elimination and substitution. Trial and error I don't typically reccommend.

amistre64 · Answer

trial and error is the backbone of mathematics :)

amistre64 · Answer

q=   1-2p
q= -1-3p

when does 1-2p = -1-3p?

^That is the comparison method...
Solve for one variable in both equations, then 'compare' their respective expressions...
If that made any sense :D
