Question

Please solve last question on test 1/2 - 1/8q=q-1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

 q = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the equation is given by,

                      1/2 - 1/8q=q-1/4

Rearranging the terms in the given equation and bringing the similar terms to the same side of the equation,

                    - 1/8q -q = -1/4 - 1/2

Adding the terms in the equation of both left and right hand side of equation:

                    -((1+8)/8) × q    = -(1+2)/4

                    -(9/8) × q         = -3/4

Dividing the both sides of the equation by  3/4

                    -3/2q               = -1

Multiplying the both sides of the equation by -2/3

Therefore,              q=2/3
