Question

What is the solution to the equation?

2q + 18 = -5q - 3

A. q = -5

B. q = -3

C. q = 3

D. q = 5

Answer 1

Sorry but I have forgotten the formula. However, it took me a while with replacing the numbers for the variable. But I have come with an answer( which I will show).

I thought that it should be B because..
2(-3)+18=-5(-3)-3

When you evaluate both sides, you get 12=12. I think that the answer is B.
