3p-2=-q .........1
-q%2B2p=3+ ..........2..solve this system by substitution
----------------------------------------------------------
3p-2=-q .........1..substitute -q in ...2...
3p-2%2B2p=3+ ..........2..solve for p
5p+=+3%2B2+
5p+=+5+
p+=+5%2F5+
p+=+1+...now find q
3p-2=-q .........1
3%2A1-2=-q .........1
3-2=-q .........1
1=-q .........1..or, both sides multiply by -1
-1+=+q
