if p + q = 36, and p -q = 20, then q = ?

If p + q = 36, and p -q = 20, then q = B

The given question is an example of an algebraic equation that involves the use of BODMAS and the substitution method.

Let

From equation (1)

Let p = 36 - q.

Then we can substitute the value of p into equation (2)

p - q = 20

36 - q - q = 20

36 - 2q = 20

collecting the like terms

-2q = 20 - 36

- 2q = - 16

Divide both sides by (-2)

q = -16/-2

q = 8

Therefore, we can conclude that the value of q = 8

q = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

p + q = 36 → (1)

p - q = 20 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term

2p = 56 ( divide both sides by 2 )

p = 28

Substitute p = 28 into (1)

28 + q = 36 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

q = 8

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
