Question

Five added to one fourth q is the same as 4 more than q?

Answer 1

We are given

Five added to one fourth q is the same as 4 more than q

Left side:

$=5+\frac{1}{4}*q$

Right side:

$=4+q$

now, we can set them equal

$5+\frac{1}{4}*q =4+q$

we can isolate q on anyone side

$5 =4+q-\frac{q}{4}$

$5-4 =q-\frac{q}{4}$

$1 =\frac{3q}{4}$

$1 *4=3q$

$q =\frac{4}{3}$...........Answer
