Question

(4/3)p +2q - 8 = 0
10p + 9q = 3(2p + q) + 24
When I did this:
10p + 9q = 3p + 3q + 24
4p + 6q = 24
4p + 6((2/3)p + 4) = 24
4p + 4p - 24 = 24
8p = 48
p = 6
(4/3)(6) + 2q - 8 = 0
8 + 2q = 8
2q = 0
q = 0
Did I do this right???
Would this be
a) (6,6)

b) (-6,-6)

c) always true

d) none of these

Answer 1

well right off the back i can see you distributed your 3 incorrectly on
10p + 9q = 3(2p + q) + 24
you said this equaled 10p + 9q = 3p + 3q + 24

it is actually 10p + 9q = 6p + 3q + 24

Answer 2

Oh....XD

Answer 3

I actually meant 6p. That was just a typo.

Answer 4

oh i see, looks like you're on the right track then

Answer 5

I did this correctly then?
