Step-by-step explanation and answer:
The given equations P=2T=3Q can be split up into
P=2T..................(1)
P=3Q................(2)
since they are all equal.
Rewrite the given equation
3Q + 4T = 26 .............(3)
as
3Q + 2(2T) = 26 ...........(4)
and substitute (1) and (2) into (4)
P + 2(P) = 26 .................(5)
Multiply (5) by two to get
6P = 2*26 = 52 ..............(6)
as given.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given P = 2T = 3Q, then
3Q + 4T = 26 can be expressed as
P + 2P = 26
3P = 26 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
6P = 52 ← as required
