Answer:
q = -5
Explanation:
2(1/2q+1)=-3(2q-1)+8q+4
First, start by simplifying.
You can use the distributive property to distribute the 2 to 1/2q and 1.
Do the same for the other side!
q+2 = -6q+3+8q+4
Now, combine like terms.
q+2 = (-6q+8q)+(3+4)
q+2 = 2q+7
Subtract 2 from both sides:
q = 2q+5
Subtract 2q from both sides:
-q = 5
Divide both sides by -1:
q = -5
