Question

9.25 − 4.5q = -19.37 − 15.1q

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

9.25−4.5q=−19.37−15.1q

9.25+−4.5q=−19.37+−15.1q

−4.5q+9.25=−15.1q−19.37

Step 2: Add 15.1q to both sides.

−4.5q+9.25+15.1q=−15.1q−19.37+15.1q

10.6q+9.25=−19.37

Step 3: Subtract 9.25 from both sides.

10.6q+9.25−9.25=−19.37−9.25

10.6q=−28.62

Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.6.

$\frac{10.6q}{10.6}$ =  $\frac{-28.62}{10.6}$

q=−2.7
