Question

Solve for q in the equation:q/4+7=5

Answer 1

q = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`(q)/(4)+7=5`

First, subtract 7 from both sides.

`\begin{gathered} (q)/(4)+7-7=5-7 \\ (q)/(4)=-2 \end{gathered}`

Next, multiply both sides by 4.

`\begin{gathered} (q)/(4)*4=-2*4 \\ q=-8 \end{gathered}`

The value of q is -8.
