Question

(x=p+1 and y=2p+3 ) of a solution 2x+y=17

find p​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

substituting the value of x and y in 2x + y = 17

2(p+1) + (2p+3) = 17

2p + 2 + 2p + 3 = 17

4p + 5 = 17

so, 4p = 17-5

4p = 12

therefore, p = 12/4

p = 3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=17

putting the value x=p+1 and y=2p+3

2(p+1)+2p+3=17

2p+2+2p+3=17

4p+5=17

4p=17-5

4p=12

p=12/4

p=3
