p+\sqrt{7}q=9
Square both sides of the equation.
p+\sqrt{7}q-\sqrt{7}q=9-\sqrt{7}q
Subtract q\sqrt{7} from both sides of the equation.
p=9-\sqrt{7}q
Subtracting q\sqrt{7} from itself leaves 0.
p=-\sqrt{7}q+9
Subtract q\sqrt{7} from 9.
\sqrt{7}q+p=9
Square both sides of the equation.
\sqrt{7}q+p-p=9-p
Subtract p from both sides of the equation.
\sqrt{7}q=9-p
Subtracting p from itself leaves 0.
\frac{\sqrt{7}q}{\sqrt{7}}=\frac{9-p}{\sqrt{7}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{7}.
q=\frac{9-p}{\sqrt{7}}
Dividing by \sqrt{7} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{7}.
q=\frac{\sqrt{7}\left(9-p\right)}{7}
Divide 9-p by \sqrt{7}.
