Answer 3

no its not

Answer 4

Simplifying
3(q + 4) + 4q + 1 = 0

Reorder the terms:
3(4 + q) + 4q + 1 = 0
(4 * 3 + q * 3) + 4q + 1 = 0
(12 + 3q) + 4q + 1 = 0

Reorder the terms:
12 + 1 + 3q + 4q = 0

Combine like terms: 12 + 1 = 13
13 + 3q + 4q = 0

Combine like terms: 3q + 4q = 7q
13 + 7q = 0

Solving
13 + 7q = 0

Solving for variable 'q'.

Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + 7q = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + 7q = 0 + -13
7q = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13
7q = -13

Divide each side by '7'.
q = -1.857142857

Simplifying
q = -1.857142857
