Question

Solve for q. √3q + 2 = √5

Answer 1

Answer:

$q = 0.0186$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for q, we initially place everything with the term q to one side of the equality, and everything without the term q to the other side of the equality.

So

$\sqrt{3q} + 2 = \sqrt{5}$

$\sqrt{3q} = \sqrt{5} - 2$

We find the square of both sides of the equation. So

$(\sqrt{3q})^{2} = (\sqrt{5} - 2)^{2}$

$3q = 0.0557$

$q = \frac{0.0557}{3}$

$q = 0.0186$
