Factorize the following expression a) 7p-14q+63 |
|
Answer» ONG>Step-by-step explanation:P> Consider first your TWO initial equations forming a System: { 7 p + 5 q = 2 8 p − 9 q = 17
Let us solve this system to find p and q : to solve it let us multiply the first equation by 9 , the second by 5 and ADD them together in columns: { 9 × 7 p + 5 q = 2 5 × 8 p − 9 q = 17
{ 63 p + 45 q = 18 40 p − 45 q = 85 add them: 103 p + 0 = 103
so: p = 103 103 = 1
substituting into the first equation we GET: 7 + 5 q = 2
q = − 1
Using these values of p and q into: − p + 14 q you get: − 1 − 14 = − 15 |
