Question

4(2q – 3) = 8q-12

Pls solve and show steps

Answer 1

`4(2q - 3) = 8q - 12`

`8q - 12 = 8q - 12`

`8q + - 12 = 8q + - 12`

`- 12 - 8q = - 12 - 8q`

`- 12 = - 12`

`- 12 + 12 = - 12 + 12`

`0 = 0`

By the above equation , we can conclude that any real number can be placed in the place of q to make the left hand side of the equation become equal to the right hand side of the equation .

Therefore , any real number ( integer , fraction and rational number ) can be placed in the place of q .

Answer 2

LHS = RHS = -12

Explanation:

=> 4(2q - 3 ) = 8q - 12.

=> 8q - 12 = 8q - 12 .

=> 8q - 8q - 12 = -12 .

=> -12 = -12 .

Hence LHS = RHS .
