Question

Solve each equation or formula for the specific variable.8r-5q=3,for q

Answer 1

Given:

8r - 5q = 3

Make q the subject.

First step:

Subtract 8r from both sides of the equation:

8r - 8r - 5q = 3

-5q = 3 - 8r

Second Step:

Divide both sides by -5

`\begin{gathered} (-5q)/(-5)=\text{ }(3-8r)/(-5) \\ \\ q\text{ = }(3-8r)/(-5) \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`q\text{ = }(3-8r)/(-5)`
