Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 = q + 2/3
Subtract 2/3 from each side
1/2 -2/3 = q+2/3-2/3
Getting a common denominator of 6
3/6 - 4/6 = q
-1/6 =q
p - 3 1/6 = -18.73
Add 3 1/6 to each side
p - 3 1/6 + 3 1/6 = -18.73 + 3 1/6
p = -18 73/100 + 19/6
Get a common denominator
p =- 5619/300 + 950/300
= -4669/300
=-15 169/300
