5+3(q-4)=2(q+1)

mutiply the first bracket by 3

(3)(q)=3q

(3)(-4)=-12

mutiply the second bracket by 2

(2)(q)=2q

(2)(1)= 2

5+3q-12= 2q+2

5-12+3q= 2q+2

-7+3q= 2q+2

move 2q to the other side

sign changes from +2q to -2q

-7+3q-2q= 2q-2q+2

-7+3q-2q= 2

-7+q= 2

move -7 to the other side

sign changes from -7 to +7

-7+7+q= 2+7

q= 2+7

Answer: q= 9
