Question

Find the value for q for the following equation: 15q – 16 = 4(2q + 3)

Answer 1

Answer:
Q=4
15q-16=8q+12
7q-16=12
7q=28
Q=4

Answer 2

Step 1: Multiply 4 by 2q and 3

Now your equation is 15q - 16 = 8q + 12

Step 2: Subtract 8q from both sides

Now your equation is 7q - 16 = 12

Step 3: Add 16 to both sides

Now the equation is 7q = 28

Step 4: Divid each side by 7

Q= 4
