p = 3q = 6 <- This means p = 6 and 3q = 6 or q = 2
r = -6
pqr = 6 * 2 * -6 = -72
Another answer
I read the question differently: 'What is pqr when p = 3, q = 6, and r = -6?' My answer is -108.
The first answerer read it as 'What is pqr when p = 3q (and also) = 6, and r = -6?'
This shows the importance of using correct punctuation and correct use of spaces between words or symbols when writing a question. If the correct punctuation is not available to the questioner, that is a serious fault in WikiAnswers.

PQR P=2 Q=4 R=5 2 x 4 x 5 = 40
3/p = 6 p = 3/6 = 1/2 3/q = 15 q = 3/15 = 1/5 p - q = 1/2 - 1/5 p - q = 5/10-2/10 = 3/10
pq-r, if p is 3, q is 4, and r is -6 is equal to 3 x 4 - (-6), which is equal to 12 + 6, which is equal to 18.
p=10/3 or 3.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
To solve for p, set up the equation 5p + 9 = p - 3 5p = p - 12 4p = -12 p = -3 to prove the answer, substitute -3 for p and prove 5(-3) + 9 = (-3) -3 -15 + 9 = -6 -6 = -6
