If it has infinite solutions


\boxed{\sf (a_1)/(a_2)=(b_1)/(b_2)=(c_1)/(c_2)}


\\ \sf\longmapsto (2)/(p+q)=(3)/(p+q-3)


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(p+q-3)=3(p+q)


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2p+2q-6=3p+3q


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2p-3p+2q-3q=6


\\ \sf\longmapsto -p-q=6


\\ \sf\longmapsto p+q=-6


\\ \sf\longmapsto p=-6-q

Take p as 1

  • .q=-6-1=-7
