Question

36q = 18 how to solve

Answer 1

`\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}}`

Given:

▪
`\longrightarrow \sf{36q = 18}`

`\leadsto` Divide ÷ both sides we get:

`\longrightarrow \sf{ (36q)/(36) = (18)/(36) }`

`\longrightarrow \sf{q= (18)/(36) }`

`\longrightarrow \sf{q= \underline{(1)/(2) }}` ✓

`\leadsto` Simplify :

`\longrightarrow \sf{q= (18)/(36) = (9)/(18) = (3)/(6) }`

`\longrightarrow \sf{q= (1)/(2)}`

`\longrightarrow \sf{q=\underline{0.5}}` ✓

`\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}`

Exact form:

`\large \boxed{\bm{q=(1)/(2)}}`

Decimal form:

`\large\boxed{\bm{q= 0.5}}`

Answer 2

q = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

`\sf 36q = 18`

Divide both sides by 36

`\sf (36q)/(36) = (18)/(36)`

Simplify following

`\sf q = (1)/(2) \quad or \quad 0.5`

Put q = 0.5 in equation, to check:

36q = 18

36(0.5) = 18

18 = 18

Hence verified, q = 0.5
