Answer:


\boxed{\tt q=985}

Explanation:


\tt 25(q-954)=775

Let's apply the Distributive property:-


\tt 25q-23850=775

Add 23850 to both sides:-


\tt 25q-23850+23850=775+23850


\tt 25q=24625

Divide both sides by 25:-


\tt \cfrac{25q}{25}=\cfrac{24625}{25}


\boxed{\tt q=985}

Or we can solve it by .....

Dividing both sides by 25


\tt q-950=\cfrac{775}{25}


\tt q-954=31

Add 954 to both sides:-


\tt q=31+954


\boxed{\tt q=985}
