–6q + 5.8 = 23.8

1st step, do you know how to move the 5.8 to the other side?

anonymous · Answer

do we divide 5.8 by both sides?
first

anonymous · Answer

I'm going by my other problem but it doesnt seem to look like this one

anonymous · Answer

no you have to subtract 5.8 from both sides

anonymous · Answer

oh ok so 

–6q + 5.8 = 23.8
        -5.8  -5.8
-6q + 0 = 18

anonymous · Answer

then do I minus 6 by each side?

anonymous · Answer

now you have 

-6q = 18

now you need to divide

anonymous · Answer

-1q = 3

anonymous · Answer

you need to divide by the -6
so you get

q = -3
