i don’t understand this pls help me

Answer:
a) x = -9
b) p = (q - x)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Substitute the values in to the equation
x = 3p + q
x = 3(-2) + -3
x = -6 + -3
x = -9
b) Make p the subject
x = 3p + q
(add 3p to both sides)
x + 3p = q
(subtract x on both sides)
3p = q - x
(divide on both sides)
p = (q - x)/3
