Question

Solve the systems of equations for p:
p + 2/5q = 6
3/2p - q = 1
When I did this, I got p=8 and q=-5. I just want to check if I'm right. Please help XD

Answer 1

\[p +\frac{2}{5}q=6\\\frac{3}{2}p-q=1\]or\[p+\frac{2}{5q}=6\\\frac{3}{2p}-q=1\]which one?

Answer 2

The first one. My bad.

Answer 3

nope, i plug your solution into the set and check, the first one is ok ,but the second one
\[\frac{3}{2}8-(-5)=12+5=17~is~not=1\]so, yours is wrong

Answer 4

So q is right, but p is wrong?

Answer 5

they HAVE to go TOGETHER, you cannot break them out.

Answer 6

redo until you get pair of them which satisfy both equations. Keep in mind, "PAIR" of them,

Answer 7

Okay, thanks
