Answer:
q = -p-6
Step-by-step explanation:
=> 5q+2p+4 = 3q-8
(Combining like terms)
=>5q-3q = -2p-8-4
=> 2q = -2p -12
=> 2q = 2(-p-6)
Dividing both sides by 2
=> q = -p-6
[tex]q = - p - 6[/tex]
[tex]5q + 2p + 4 - 3q = - 8 \\ 2q + 2p + 4 = - 8 \\ 2q + 4 = - 8 - 2p \\ 2q = - 8 - 2p - 4 \\ 2q = - 12 - 2p \\ \frac{2q}{2} = \frac{ - 2p - 12}{2} \\ q = \frac{ - 2p - 12}{2} \\ q = - p - 6[/tex]
