  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

-4p + q = -5

p - q = 7

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

p - q = 7

  1. Add q on both sides:                    p = q + 7

Step 3: Redefine Systems

-4p + q = -5

p = q + 7

Step 4: Solve for q

Substitution

  1. Substitute in p:                    -4(q + 7) + q = -5
  2. Distribute -4:                        -4q - 28 + q = -5
  3. Combine like terms:            -3q - 28 = -5
  4. Isolate q term:                     -3q = 23
  5. Isolate q:                              q = -23/3

Step 5: Solve for p

  1. Define equation:                    p - q = 7
  2. Substitute in q:                       p - (-23/3) = 7
  3. Simplify:                                  p + 23/3 = 7
  4. Isolate p:                                 p = -2/3

-4(2) + 3 = -5
8 - 1 = 7
