Solve the "system of equations":
This is quite straightforward, you just have to mind your p's and q's (lol)
Rewrite this equation as: and substitute for p into the first equation.
Simplify this and solve for q.
Combine like-terms.
Subtract 21 from both sides.
Finally, divide both sides by -2.
Now substitute this for q into the second equation and solve for p.
Subtract 5 from both sides.
The solution is: p = 2 and q = 5
