solve for p 3(p+q)=p

Answer 1

To solve for p, we'll start by distributing the 3 on the left side of the equation:
3(p + q) = p
3p + 3q = p
Next, we'll move all the p terms to the left side of the equation:
3p - p + 3q = 0
2p + 3q = 0
Now, we'll isolate the p term by subtracting 3q from both sides:
2p = -3q
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for p:
p = -3q/2
