How would you solve the below equation?

q=9p + 1/5
I am lost on this?

6 answers

there is one equation with two unknowns , so no unique solution

the values of p and q are interrelated
q = 9p + 1/5.
9p = q - 1/5,
Divide both sides by 9:
p = (q-1/5)/9.
Hello Scott so is there a way to solve this?
Hello Henry when you ended up with 9p=q-1/5
How did you end up with 9p=q-1/5?
there are an infinite number of solutions

for every value of p , there is a value of q

the solution is a line
Subtract 1/5 from both sides.
