1.p%2F8%2Bq%2F6=1
2.p%2Fq=-2%2F3
From equation 2,
p%2Fq=-2%2F3
p=-%282%2F3%29q
Now substitute that value into equation 1.
1.p%2F8%2Bq%2F6=1
-%281%2F8%29%282%2F3%29q%2Bq%2F6=1
-%28q%2F12%29%2Bq%2F6=1
-%28q%2F12%29q%2B2q%2F12=1
q%2F12=1
highlight%28q=12%29
p=-%282%2F3%29q
p=-%282%2F3%2912
highlight%28p=-8%29
