@whalexnuker, please explain why u got the answer. Giving off answers is not helping.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you'd give me a second, I would, Zale.

OpenStudy (zale101):

ok go ahead :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

JUST EXPLAIN

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please don't be impatient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Begin by moving all the "q"s to the left hand side starting with -11-q = 2q+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(q-2q)-11=(2q-2q)+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine like terms. -3q-11=(2q-2q)+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3q-11=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now add 11 to both sides. and go from there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide by -3

OpenStudy (zale101):

dd '-2q' to each side of the equation. -11 + -1q + -2q = 4 + 2q + -2q -11 + -3q = 4 + 0 -11 + -3q = 4 0 + -3q = 4 + 11 -3q = 4 + 11 -3q = 15 Divide each side by '-3'. q = -5
