Answer:
g(q) = 5/8q
Step-by-step explanation:
-7q + 12r = 3q - 4r
Add 4r to each side
-7q + 12r+4r = 3q - 4r+4r
-7q +16r = 3q
Add 7q to each side
-7q+7q +16r = 3q+7q
16r = 10q
Divide each side by 16
16r/16 = 10q/16
r = 5q/8
g(q) = 5/8q
Answer:

63 Jelly Beans
Step-by-step explanation:
The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x
First he had x jelly beans
The he ate one-third of them

He then ate 16 more jelly beans

This was equal to 37 jelly beans

This is the equation
Now solve for x
Subtract 16 from both sides

Multiply both sides by 3

63 Jelly Beans
57 + x + x + 130 = 167
57 + 2x + 130 = 167
187 + 2x = 167
- 187 - 187
---------------------------
2x = -20
