Answer 5

You MUST take all the "q" containing terms to one side, and then do the eqaution.

Answer 6

okay..
6q - 1 = -q + 20
6q + -1q = 20 + -1
5q = 19
q = 1.8 ?

Answer 7

When you take '-q' from the right to the left side, it becomes '+q' or 'q'

Numbers change signs when you switch their sides.

Answer 8

i understand now.. does that also go for the '1' on the left side, or does it inherit the subtraction and bcome negative?

Answer 9

Yes.
ANYTHING, once switches sides, will change its sign.

Answer 10

so it would be
6q + 1q = 20 + -1
or
6q + 1q = 20 + 1
