Question

$$34-5 \times (p-1)=4,p=$$

Solve for p, q

$q=7$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Use the distributive property to multiply $-5$ by $p-1$.

$$34-5p+5=4$$

Add $34$ and $5$ to get $39$.

$$39-5p=4$$

Subtract $39$ from both sides.

$$-5p=4-39$$

Subtract $39$ from $4$ to get $-35$.

$$-5p=-35$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$p=\frac{-35}{-5}$$

Divide $-35$ by $-5$ to get $7$.

$$p=7$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$q=7$$

The system is now solved.

$$p=7$$ $$q=7$$
