Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since you want to get q only and q appears in both side of the equation. Try to isolate q to one side.
1) Expand 2(q+p)
2q + 2p = 1 + 5q
2) Move all q terms to one side
5q - 2q = 2p - 1
3q = 2p - 1
3) Divide 3 on both side (to isolate q)
q = 
If it doubles every 4 hours, in 12 hours you will have 3 doublings.
2 * 2 * 2 = 8
90*8 = 720 pounds of algae
2/3 of 1 1/2 = 1 quart blue paint
5/6 of 3 3/5 = 3 quarts red paint
1 quart blue paint + 3 quarts red paint = 4 quarts purple paint
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2x + 3x = 180 (Interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees)
=> 6x = 180
Dividing both sides by 6
=> x = 180 / 6
=> x = 30
