Question

If p + 2q =40, find q when p = 16

Answer 1

Answer:

16+2q=40

2q=40-16

2q=24

q=24/2

q=12

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 2q = 40

p = 16

16 + 2q = 40

2q = 40 - 16

2q = 24

q = 24/2

q = 12

Check:-

p + 2q = 40

p = 16, q = 12

16 + 2 × 12 = 40

16 + 24 = 40

40 = 40

LHS = RHS

Hence, the value of q is 12
