Answer:

1.2q

Explanation:

Simplifying

2p + 5q + 3p + q = 0

Reorder the terms:

2p + 3p + 5q + q = 0

Combine like terms: 2p + 3p = 5p

5p + 5q + q = 0

Combine like terms: 5q + q = 6q

5p + 6q = 0

Solving

5p + 6q = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6q' to each side of the equation.

5p + 6q + -6q = 0 + -6q

Combine like terms: 6q + -6q = 0

5p + 0 = 0 + -6q

5p = 0 + -6q

Remove the zero:

5p = -6q

Divide each side by '5'.

p = -1.2q

Simplifying

p = -1.2q
