Solution : #p=-6 , r=12.5 and p=3 , r=-1 #

Explanation:

#3p+2r=7(1) and p^2-2r=11(2) #. From equation(1)

we get # 2r= 7-3p # Putting # 2r= 7-3p # in equaition (2)

we get # p^2-(7-3p)=11or p^2+3p-7=11 # or

#p^2+3p-7-11=0 or p^2+3p-18=0# or

#p^2+6p-3p-18=0 or p(p+6) -3(p+6)=0# or

# (p+6)(p-3)=0 :. p= -6 or p=3#

When #p=-6 ; 2r = 7- 3*(-6)=7+18 or 2r=25# or

# r=12.5 :.# Solution: #p=-6 , r=12.5#

When #p=3 ; 2r = 7- 3*3=7-9 or 2r=-2# or

# r=-1 :.# Solution: #p=3 , r=-1#

Solution : #p=-6 , r=12.5 and p=3 , r=-1 # [Ans]

#3p + 2r = 7................[1] #

and

# p^2 - 2r =11..............[2]#

Adding [1] and [2] we get

# p^2 +3p-18=0#

#=> p^2 +6p-3p-18=0#

#=> p(p +6)-3(p+6)=0#

#=> (p +6)(p-3)=0#

So #p= - 6 and 3#

Inserting these in [1] we get

#3(-6)+2r=7#

#=>r=25/2=12.5#

and

#3xx3+2r=7#

#r=-2/2=-1#

So solutions are
#p=-6 and r= 12.5#

or
#p=3and r= -1#

#(p,r)to(-6,25/2)" or "(3,-1)#

Explanation:

#3p+2r=7to(1)#

#p^2-2r=11to(2)#

#"from equation "(1)" we can express 2r as"#

#2r=7-3pto(3)#

#color(blue)"substitute in "(2)#

#p^2-(7-3p)=11#

#rArrp^2-7+3p-11=0#

#rArrp^2+3p-18=0#

#"the factors of - 18 which sum to + 3 are + 6 and - 3"#

#rArr(p+6)(p-3)=0#

#"equate each factor to zero and solve for p"#

#p+6=0rArrp=-6#

#p-3=0rArrp=3#

#"substitute each value in "(3)" and solve for r"#

#2r=7-3prArrr=1/2(7-3p)#

#p=-6tor=1/2(7+18)=25/2rArr(-6,25/2)#

#p=3tor=1/2(7-9)=-1rArr(3,-1)#

p=3 r=-1

Explanation:

In order to do this problem with simultaneous equations, we must first isolate -2r from the first equation.
#3p+2r=7#
#3p-7=-2r#
Now that we have negative 2r, we can substitute it into the second equation.
#p^2-2r=11#
#p^2+(3p-7)=11#
Now, let's bring all the variables and constants to one side and solve the equation by factorization.
#p^2+3p-18=0#
#(p+6)(p-3)#
#p=-6,3#
With both of these solutions, plug them into the original equations and solve for r. The only solution that works in this circumstance is if p=3 and r=-1.
