Question

p is inversely proportional to 3q-1. The difference in the values of p when q = 1 and q=2 respectively is 3. Find the value of p when q = 5

Answer 1

Explanation:

3q - 1 = 3(1) - 1 = 2

3q -1 = 3(2)- 1= 5

10/p = 2 10/p = 5

p= 5 p= 2 (5-2=3, so 10/p is correct)

q=5, 3(5) -1 = 14

10/p = 14

p = 0.71??
