q = 0
Solve for q.
Multiply both sides of the equation by
18.
q=5q⋅(18)
Simplify the right side.
Multiply 5q by 18 to get 5q(18).
q=5q(18)
Multiply 18 by 5 to get 90.
q=90q
Move all terms containing q to the left side of the equation.
Since 90q contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting 90q from both sides.
q−90q=0
Subtract 90q from q to get -89q.
−89q=0
Divide each term by -89 and simplify.
Divide each term in −89q=0 by -89.
Simplify the left side of the equation by cancelling the common factors.
q= 0/89
Divide 0 by −89 to get 0.
q=0
