first you subrtract 2q from both sides. leaving you with 18=-7q-3. then you add 3 to both sides, so you have 21=-7q. then you divide both sides by seven leaving you with your answer :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry i am confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, i'll show you...
2q + 18 = -5q -3
-2q -2q
18= -7q-3
+3 +3
21= -7q
divide both sides by -7
