All you have to do is plug and solve...
2(q+2) + 3q = -26
2q + 4 + 3q = -26
Subtract 4 from the left side and move it to the right...
2q + 4 + 3q = -26
- 4 - 04
_________________
2q + 3q = -30
Now add 3q and 2q together and you get 5q, next divide...
5q = -30
_______
5 5
Finally, you get q equal to negative 6 (-6)!
