Question

For what value of q is the equation -13(q + 4) = 7q + 16

Answer 1

Q = -3.4

Explanation:

Our original equation is: -13(q+4)=7q+16

if we simplify this, we get: -13q-52=7q+16

Subtract 16 from both sides: -13q-68=7q

Add 13q to both sides to get: -68=20q

divide the equation to get this: -3.4=q
