Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

i think its another name for elimination

Answer 3

either that or a trial and error system ...

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

trial and error is the backbone of mathematics :)

Answer 6

q= 1-2p
q= -1-3p

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

Answer 7

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