Answer:

q = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] p

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] less than p = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] p

Thus

p + q = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] p ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

3p + 3q = 2p ( subtract 3p from both sides )

3q = - p ( divide both sides by 3 )

q = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] p
