Question

8p + 2q = -16
2p - q=2

Answer 1

p = -1 q = -4

Explanation:

a system of eq and solve for p and q ??? can do :)

Eq. 1) 8p + 2q = - 16

Eq. 2) 2p - q = 2

use Eq .2 and solve for q

2p - 2 = q

plug into Eq.1 with q

8p +2(2p - 2) = - 16

8p +4p -4 = -16

12p = - 12

p = -1

plug -1 into Eq. 1 for p and solve for q

8(-1) + 2q = - 16

-8 + 2q = - 16

2q = -8

q = -4
