Question

6q-15=81. What is q?

Answer 1

q=16

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get the variable by itself, so add 15 to both sides.

6q-15=81

+15 +15

The first 15 cancels out and 81 plus 15 is 96. The, you have to get "q" by itself by dividing 6 from both sides.

6q=96

This should give you q= 16.

Answer 2

16

Step-by-step explanation:

6q - 15 = 81

6q = 81 + 15

6q = 96

q = 96/6 = 16
