How would you solve the below equation?
q=9p + 1/5
I am lost on this?
there is one equation with two unknowns , so no unique solution
the values of p and q are interrelated
q = 9p + 1/5.
9p = q - 1/5,
Divide both sides by 9:
p = (q-1/5)/9.
Hello Scott so is there a way to solve this?
Hello Henry when you ended up with 9p=q-1/5
How did you end up with 9p=q-1/5?
there are an infinite number of solutions
for every value of p , there is a value of q
the solution is a line
Subtract 1/5 from both sides.
To solve the given equation q = 9p + 1/5, we need to isolate the variable p.
Step 1: Start by subtracting 1/5 from both sides of the equation:
q - 1/5 = 9p
Step 2: Next, divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for p:
(q - 1/5) / 9 = p
Therefore, the solution for p is (q - 1/5) divided by 9.
