Question

Solve the equations)

1.-2q-5=-11


2.w/3+2=5

Answer 1

1. q = 3

2. w = 9

Explanation:

1.

-2q - 5 = -11

Add 5 to both sides:

-2q - 5 + 5 = -11 + 5

-2q = -6

Divide both sides by 2:

-2q ÷ 2 = -6 ÷ 2

-q = -3

Divide both sides by -1:

-q ÷ -1 = -3 ÷ -1

q = 3

2.

w/3 + 2 = 5

Subtract 2 from both sides

w/3 = 3

Multiply both sides by 3:

w = 9
