multiply 5 on both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but i thought , since the 5 is on the bottom you had to do somthing different...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no that is correct if you take 205/5 you would get 41 which is 41*5 so it works
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks ! i have more question, do you mind helping .. ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i would get in the practice of writing it out as q=19 it will save you problems in the long run
OpenStudy (anonymous):
multiply both sides with 5
q/5 * 5 = 41 * 5
q = 205
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats your next problem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
50q-43=52q-81
for this ur answer is :
transpose 52q to LHS ( light hand side )
50q-52q - 43 = -81
transpose -43 to right hand side
-2q =- 81+43
-2q = -38
q = (-38)/(-2)
q = 19
hope u got it
