Question

10q + 3q + 5 = 2 ( q - 3 )

Answer 1

Hi,

Work:

Equation;


`10q + 3q + 5 = 2(q - 3)`

Collect like terms.


`13q + 5 = 2(q - 3)`
Distribute 2 thought parenthesis.


`13q + 5 = 2q - 6`

Move variable 2q to left side and change its sign and move constant +5 to right side and change its sign.


`13q - 2q = - 6 - 5`
Collect like terms and calculate the difference.


`11q = - 11`
Divide both sides of equation by 11 and result is:


`q = - 1`


Hope this helps.
