Answer:

$\frac{2p-1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you want to get q only and q appears in both side of the equation. Try to isolate q to one side.

1) Expand 2(q+p)

2q + 2p = 1 + 5q

2) Move all q terms to one side

5q - 2q = 2p - 1

3q = 2p - 1

3) Divide 3 on both side (to isolate q)

q = $\frac{2p-1}{3}$
