Question

1. If (1, -2) is a solution of a linear equation 2x – y = p, then find the value of p.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Just put the values of x and y

x = 1

y = -2

2x – y = p

2(1) - (- 2) = p

p = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of p is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find p, you have to substitute the value of x and y into the linear equation :

$2x - y = p$

$let \: x = 1 \\ let \: y = - 2$

$2(1) - ( - 2) = p$

$2 + 2 = p$

$p = 4$
