0 votes 0 votes Let, P = x - 2 Q = x R = x + 2 given that, 3P = 2R - 3 on substituting the values of P and R, we get, 3 * ( x- 2 ) = 2 * ( x + 2 ) - 3 3x - 6 = 2x + 4 - 3 3x - 2x = 4 - 3 + 6 x = 7 P = 7 - 2 = 5 Q = 7 R = 9 pankaj_vir answered May 30, 2017 pankaj_vir 856 points comment Share See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
