Question 847046: I need a practical application for the following equations: x+p=q; px=q please

1. Are those two equations simultaneous, or separate?

2. Think of any application of addition or multiplication in real life. For example if gas costs $3.87/gal and you buy 4 gallons.

and 3. Is this for a school assignment? Because I feel that is a rather odd question for a homework.
