SOLUTION: SOlve using the multiplication principle first, then use the elimination method:
7p+5q=2
8p-9q=17, I came up with p=1, q=1, however I plugged this into a different site to double

Question 375882: SOlve using the multiplication principle first, then use the elimination method:
7p+5q=2
8p-9q=17, I came up with p=1, q=1, however I plugged this into a different site to double check my work and was told something different. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A different site?
The quickest and easiest way is to just plug the results into the original equations.
