Question

Solve the following equation for q. 5q + 2p + 4 = 3q – 8.

q = -6 – p

q = -6 – 2p

q = 2 – p

q = 2 – 2p

Im pretty sure it's the first option just confirming :)

Answer 1

Explanation:

`\\`By collecting the like terms , we have:

`\\`5q - 3q = - 8 - 4 - 2p

`\\`2q = -12 - 2p

`\\`divide each term by 2 , we have

`\\`q = -6 - p
