-5(3-q)+4=5q-11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got -5q=5q
OpenStudy (confluxepic):
(-15+5q)+4=5q-11
OpenStudy (confluxepic):
-15+5q=5q-15
OpenStudy (confluxepic):
5q=5q

I get
-15 +5q +4 = 5q -11
5q -11 = 5q -11
basically it boils down to 0=0
and what you have -5Q = 5Q
becomes 10Q = 0

Okay thanks!
OpenStudy (confluxepic):
You are welcome.
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
I think that when you multiplied on the left side, you might have calculated -5 * -q
as -5q. It should be 5q.
OpenStudy (confluxepic):
@wolf1728
5q-11=5q-11
Add 11 on both sides.
5q=5q

and conflux, if you add -5q to both sides of 5q = 5q what do you get?
OpenStudy (confluxepic):
0=0
