Answer:

Answer is q = 2

Explanation:

First make the equation with a constant so p=k/q

then substitute q to 6 and p to 23.

Then you have 23=k/6 and to find k multiply both sides to get k=138

next substitute p as 69=138/q then multiply q on both sides to get 69xq=138 and then divide 69 to 138 go get q which is 2
