Answer 5

q=3

Answer 6

Can you explain

Answer 7

Yes

add 2q to both sides.
subtract 5 to both sides.

5q = 15

divide 5 to both sides.


the answer is: q = 3

Answer 15

@Kyliejones i guess

Answer 16

keep this rule in mind @TheAsker2002
whatever you do the left side of an equation, do same to the right side.
you need all the q's on one side, and everything else on the other side
to move -2q to the left side, you do -2q+2q which will give you 0
and then since the only thing you did to the right side was +2q, you do same to the left side
so 3q+2q
now you have 5q

use the same principle for the 5, and the rest is easy.
