Simplifying
-4q + 8 = -2q + -16
Reorder the terms:
8 + -4q = -2q + -16
Reorder the terms:
8 + -4q = -16 + -2q
Solving
8 + -4q = -16 + -2q
Solving for variable 'q'.
Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2q' to each side of the equation.
8 + -4q + 2q = -16 + -2q + 2q
Combine like terms: -4q + 2q = -2q
8 + -2q = -16 + -2q + 2q
Combine like terms: -2q + 2q = 0
8 + -2q = -16 + 0
8 + -2q = -16
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -2q = -16 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -2q = -16 + -8
-2q = -16 + -8
Combine like terms: -16 + -8 = -24
-2q = -24
Divide each side by '-2'.
q = 12
Simplifying
q = 12
