---
p = 40 + q
7p = -9q + 360
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
x = p
y = q
---
x = 40 + y
7x = -9y + 360
---
x - y = 40
7x + 9y = 360
---
copy and paste the above linear system in standard form into this matrix-method solver:

---
solution by matrix method:
x = p = 45
y = q = 5
---
now by elimination:
---
x - y = 40
7x + 9y = 360
---
p - q = 40
7p + 9q = 360
---
( p - q = 40 ) * -7
7p + 9q = 360
---
-7p + 7q = -280
7p + 9q = 360
---
add the system:
---
16q = 80
q = 5
---
p = 40 + q
p = 40 + 5
p = 45
---
solution by elimination method:
x = p = 45
y = q = 5
