Answer:

p = -2 and q = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Substitute q + 2 for p in 2p + 3q = -16.

  • [tex]2(q+2)+3q=-16[/tex]  
  • [tex]2q + 4 + 3q = -16[/tex] (simplify both sides)
  • [tex]5q + 4 = -16[/tex] (simplify both sides)
  • [tex]5q + 4 - 4 = -16 - 4[/tex] (subtract 4 from both sides)
  • [tex]5q = -20[/tex]
  • [tex]5q/5 = -20/5[/tex] (divide both sides by 5)
  • [tex]q = -4[/tex]

Step 2: Substitute -4 for q in p = q + 2.

  • [tex]p = -4 + 2[/tex]
  • [tex]p = -2[/tex]

Therefore, p = -2 and q = -4.
