Question

What is the answer to the equation help please. -2q-3=-2(2q+1)

Answer 1

Answer: q=1/2

Explanation:

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

-2q-3=-4q-2

2q-3=-2

2q=1

q=1/2

Answer 2

Answer:
`q=(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Problem: -2q - 3 = -2(2q + 1)

1. Expand:

−2q − 3 = −4q − 2

2. Add 3 to both sides:

−2q = −4q − 2 + 3

3. Simplify -4q - 2 + 3 to -4q + 1:

−2q = −4q + 1

4. Add 4q to both sides:

−2q + 4q = 1

5. Simplify -2q + 4q to 2q:

2q = 1

6. Divide both sides by 2:

`q=(1)/(2)`
