Answer:

q=-3 2/5

Explanation:

First multiply -13 with (q+4)

-13q-52=7q+16

Now you have to change the order before = the numbers with q and after = the numbers without anything

-13q-7q=52+16

Remember that when you change positions the symbol too

Then solve it

-20q=68

Now u have to divide as i do

q=68/-20

you can simplify it

q=3 8/-20

Now divide by the greater divisor in this case is 4

q=3 2/-5

And organize it

q=-3 2/5

Never forget to do q=(answer)

Hopefully it helps.
