Question

m + 2p = 24
m + p = 10
If (m1 p1) is the solution to the system of equations above, what is the value of p1?

The correct answer is: 6


    Step by step explanation:
    Given:
    3m + 2p = 24
    m + p = 10
    Step 1:
    Let,
    3m + 2p = 24 —------ eq. 1
    m + p = 10 —---------eq. 2
    Step 2:
    Now equate coefficient of p
    ∴ multiply equation 2 by 2
    ⇒ [m + p = 10] × 2
    ⇒ 2m + 2p = 20 —---- eq.3
    Step 3:
    Now subtract equation eq. 3 from eq.1
    ⇒ 3m + 2p = 24
    - 2m - 2p = - 20
    —--------------------
    m = 4
    Step 4:
    Put m = 4 in equation 2
    m + p = 10
    4 + p = 10
    p = 10 - 4
    p = 6
    ∴ (m1 p1) = (4, 6)
    Hence, the value P1 is 6.
