Parentheses first
9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7
Combine like terms
9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7
add 38 to both sides
12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38
12q = 45
divide both sides by 12
q = 45/12
q = 3.75
Answer:
5/4 is the simplest form.
If you would like to know which pair of measurements is not equivalent, you can calculate this using the following steps:
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 mile = 5280 feet
8 yards = 8 * 3 feet = 24 feet
2 feet = 2 * 12 inches = 24 inches
10 feet = 10 * 12 inches = 120 inches
3 miles = 3 * 5280 feet = 15,840 feet
Not equivalent: <span>3 miles, 15,480 feet.</span>
