If 3p+4q/3p-4q=2,find p:q

Answer 1

Multiplying both sides by 3p-4q to get rid of the denominator, we get:

3p + 4q = 2(3p-4q)

Expanding the right side, we get:

3p + 4q = 6p - 8q

Subtracting 3p from both sides, we get:

4q = 3p - 8q

Adding 8q to both sides, we get:

12q = 3p

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

4q = p

Therefore, the ratio of p:q is 4:1.
