Question

Solve step by step -18=2(-q+4)

Answer 1

q=13

Explanation:

First, you can multiply to distribute 2 over -9 and 4.

-18=2(-q+4)

-18=-2q+8

Then, you can subtract 8 from both sides.

-18=-2q+8

-26=-2q

Finally, you can divide -2 on both sides.

13=q

Now, you can check by plugging in 13 for the value of q in the original equation.

-18=2(-(13)+4)

-18=2(-13+4)

-18=2(-9)

-18=-18

Hope this helps you! :)
