Answer:

q = 46

Explanation:


(2q+8)/(10)=10\\\\\text{We simplify the equation by getting rid of the denominator.}\\\\\bold{multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 10}\\\\10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot(2q+8)/(10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)=(10)(10)\\\\2q+8=100\qquad\bold{subtract\ 8\ form\ both\ sides}\\\\2q+8-8=100-8\\\\2q=92\qquad\bold{divide \both\ sides\ by\ 2}\\\\(2q)/(2)=(92)/(2)\\\\q=46
