Question

What must be subtracted from p and added it to q so that the ratio of the resultants becomes 1 : 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 must be subtracted from p.

&

4 must be added to a.

Answer 2

Answer : x = (5p-q)/6

Step-by-step explanation:

p-x : q+x = 1 : 5

so

5*(p-x) = q+x

so

5p - 5x = q+x

so

5p-q = 6x

so

x = (5p-q)/6
