Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2010

If p and q are two non zero numbers and 18 (p + q) = (18 + p)q, which of the following must be true ?

A
p ˂ 1
B
p = 18
C
q ˂ 1
D

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

18(p+q) = (18+p)q

18p + 18q = 18q + pq

By comparison

18p = 18q or p = q

Again, 18q = pq or 18 = p which is required
