2(-q-7)-5=13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solate all terms with variables on the left side and all constants on the other side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess u can find the value for q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add five to both sides. you then divide both sides by 2. then you add 7 to both sides. then you divide both sides by -1 to make your q positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how'd you get q-16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the end both result would be equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(-q-7)-5=13 +5 +5 2 - q - 7 = 18 _______________ 2 2 -q - 7 = 9 +7 +7 -q = 16 __________ -1 -1 q = -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just distribute then on the right side are the constant -2q= 32 q=-16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. <3
