given that 2p + 3q /q=3/8 find the value of p/q,please answer in detail
If the problem is: (2p + 3q)/q = 3/8
cross multiply: (2p + 3q)(8) = (3)(q)
simplify: 16p + 24q = 3q
subtract 24q from both sides: 16p = -21q
divide both sides by q: (16p)/q = -21
divide both sides by 16: p/q = -21/16
Thanks for the answer m8 :D
