Hope this helps!

Answer 2

D) 10

Explanation:

In order to solve for X in this equation you first have to elevate to the square both sides of the equation:

`(√(4q-2))^(2) =(√(3q+8)) ^(2)`

Now you just have to solve the equation for X.

`\\4q-2=3q+8\\4q-3q=8+2\\q=10`

Now we know that the value of q=10.
