Question

Make q the subject of the formula 2(q + p) = 1 + 5q Give your answer in the form ap-b where a, b and c are all positive integers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: 2(q+p)=1+5q

2q+2p=1+5q

2q-5q=1-2p

-3q=1-2p/:(-3)

q=-1/3+2/3 p

Answer 2

`2(q+p)=1+5q\implies 2q+2p=1+5q\implies 2q+2p-5q=1 \\\\\\ 2q-5q=1-2p\implies q(2-5)=1-2p\implies -3q=-2p+1 \\\\\\ q=\cfrac{-2p + 1}{-3}\implies q=\cfrac{2}{3}p-\cfrac{1}{3}`
