Question

Solve the equation. then check your solution. negative 448 = 64 q

a. –512
b. –2
c. 7
d. –7

Answer 1

To solve the equation -448 = 64q, divide both sides by 64 to get q alone. The solution is q = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation -448 = 64q, we need to isolate the variable q. First, we can divide both sides of the equation by 64 to get q alone. -448 divided by 64 is -7, so the solution is q = -7.

To check the solution, we can substitute q = -7 back into the original equation. -448 = 64(-7) simplifies to -448 = -448, which is true. Therefore, the solution q = -7 satisfies the equation.
