Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

2p - q = r + s

Step 2: Solve for q

1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2p on both sides: -q = r + s - 2p
2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide negative on both sides: q = -(r + s - 2p)
3. [Distributive Property] Distribute negative: q = 2p - r - s
