Q. 7p=9(p+q)+1199+3=4(7q+p)Consider the system of equations. If p,9 is the solution to the system, then what is the value of −p−9?
Simplify first equation: Step 1: Simplify the first equation.Original equation: 7p=9(p+q)+11Distribute the 9: 7p=9p+9q+11Subtract 9p from both sides: −2p=9q+11
Simplify second equation: Step 2: Simplify the second equation.Original equation: 99+3=4(7q+p)Simplify left side: 102=4(7q+p)Divide both sides by 4: 25.5=7q+p
