@paki

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

uhh Paki

3q + 5 = –2q + 20 combine like terms....

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

OpenStudy (paki):

3q + 5 = –2q + 20 3q+2q = 20-5 solve now

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

20-5=15...

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

q = 15?

OpenStudy (paki):

yes 20-5 is 15 but 3q+2q = 5q so 5q 15... now solve for q

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

yep, i just checked it! :P

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):
