Final answer:

To solve the formula 1/4m(q+k) for q, first multiply both sides by 4m to eliminate the fraction. Then, isolate q by subtracting 4mq from both sides. Finally, divide both sides by (1-4m) to solve for q.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the formula 1/4m(q+k) for q, we need to isolate q on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4m to eliminate the fraction: 4m * (1/4m(q+k)) = 4m * q
  2. The 4m on the left side cancels out, leaving us with (q + k) = 4m * q
  3. Distribute 4m to both the q and the k on the right side: q + k = 4mq
  4. Now, subtract 4mq from both sides of the equation to isolate q: q + k - 4mq = 0
  5. Factor out q on the left side: q(1-4m) + k = 0
  6. Finally, divide both sides of the equation by (1-4m) to solve for q: q = -k / (1-4m)
