Answer 2

`\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}`
