Answer:

q=8

Explanation:

To solve for q, we need to get q by itself. To do this, preform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Also, everything must be done to both sides of the equation.

8q-15=49

Add 15 to both sides, since 15 is being subtracted.

8q-15+15=49+15

8q=64

Divide both sides by 8, since 8 and x are being multiplied.

8q/8=64/8

q=8
