Question

Which equation describes this statement? The sum of p and q is equal to 24. Let q = 3. p + 3 = 24 p – 3 = 24 p ÷ 3 = 24 p × 3 = 24

Answer 1

For this case we must write algebraically the following statement:

"The sum of p and q is equal to 24"

The sum of p and q is represented as:

`p + q`

If the sum is equal to 24 we have:

`p + q = 24`

If they tell us that
`q = 3`, then the expression is:

`p + 3 = 24`

Answer:

`p + 3 = 24`
