Q=p-q/2, for q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in terms of q?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i figured it out: multiply everything by 2 giving you 2Q=2p-2q then add 2q on the right side and the same for the left giving you 2q+2Q=2p negate +2Q from each side giving you 2q=2p-2Q then divide everything by 2 giving you q=p-Q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the back of the book thing says the answer is q=p-2Q where id i go wrong? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh, i know it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is \(Q=\frac{ p-q }{ 2 }\) OR \(Q=p-\frac{ q }{ 2 }\) ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two equations are different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one. i cant fancy type like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could have put brackets... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Q=[p-q]/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2Q=p-q q=p-2Q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply everything by 2 ..so 2Q=p-q. so we get q=p-2Q

thanks guys! got it :)
