4-(1)/(2)q\leq33-q

Let's solve for q:


\begin{gathered} -4+4-(1)/(2)q\leq33-q-4 \\ -(1)/(2)\text{q}\leq29-q \\ \text{Then, you add q to both sides of the inequality} \\ q-(1)/(2)q\leq29-q+q \\ (1)/(2)q\leq29 \\ \text{Now, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 2} \\ 2*(1)/(2)q\leq29*2 \\ q\leq58 \end{gathered}
