Question

Five added to one fourth q is the same as 4 more than q?

Answer 1

We are given

Five added to one fourth q is the same as 4 more than q

Left side:

`=5+(1)/(4)*q`

Right side:

`=4+q`

now, we can set them equal

`5+(1)/(4)*q =4+q`

we can isolate q on anyone side

`5 =4+q-(q)/(4)`

`5-4 =q-(q)/(4)`

`1 =(3q)/(4)`

`1 *4=3q`

`q =(4)/(3)`...........Answer
