Question

Solve for qqq.
3(q-7)=273(q−7)=27

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

3(q - 7) = 27

3q - 21 = 27

3q = 27 + 21

3q = 48

q = 48/3

q = 16

Answer 2

Explanation:

`{3}^(q - 7) = {27}^(q - 7)`

`{3}^(q - 7) = {3}^(3(q - 7))`

`q - 7 = 3(q - 7)`

`q - 7 = 3q - 21`

`q - 3q = - 21 + 7`

`- 2q = - 14`

`q = ( - 14)/( - 2)`

`q = 7`
