Question

Which of the following is the solution to the equation below? 15=q/3

Answer 1

Answer is

q = 45

Because;

q/3 =15

means the same as 15 x 3

Reasons are that 3/45 = 15

Explanation:

q = 45

q/3 = 45/3

Just like

√q = √45 = 6.7082039325

Square of q = 45 = 2025

Square root of q = 6.708

Answer 2

q=45

Explanation:

To do this we have to isolate q.

q is being divided by 3, so to reverse that we have to multiply it by 3.

However, in an equation, what you do to one side, you must do to the other. This is so the equation stays equal.

15=q/3

That said, what we can do is multiply the entire equation by 3.

45=q

So the solution to the equation is 45.
