2p=7q
6p-3q=24
2p-q=8
q=2p-8
substitute q=2p-8 into 2p=7q
2p=7(2p-8)
2p=14p-56
14p-2p=56
12p=56
p=4.66666666....
q=2p-8
q=2(4.6666...)-8
q=1.333333333....
Therefore, p=4.67(3.s.f) and q=1.33(3.s.f.)
2p = 7q

6p - 3q = 24

From  2p = 7q
             p = 7q/2   substitute this in second equation.

6p - 3q = 24

6*(7q/2) - 3q = 24

21q - 3q = 24

18q = 24

q = 24/18 = 4/3

Recall,   p = 7q/2     p = 7*(4/3)/2 = 14/3

Therefore, p = 14/3,   q = 4/3
