Solve the following system by the comparison method. 2p + q = 1 9p + 3q + 3 = 0 what is the solution set?

2p + q = 1

9p + 3q + 3 = 0

q = 1 - 2p

replace q = 1 - 2p into 9p + 3q + 3 = 0

9p + 3(1 - 2p) + 3 = 0

9p + 3 - 6p + 3 = 0

3p + 6 =0

3p = -6

p = -2

q = 1 - 2p

q = 1 -2(-2)

q = 1 + 4

q = 5

(-2 , 5)

there for the answer would be

{(-2, 5)}

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
