Answers
Divide 7 to both sides.
Answer: hi, umm so i did this little long cuz i explained step- by - step so you can cut some steps if you want.. but the first step= Simplifying
7q + 23 = 15q + -33 , Reorder the terms: 23 + 7q = 15q + -33 ,Reorder the terms: 23 + 7q = 15q + -33
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7q + 23 = 15q + -33
Reorder the terms:
23 + 7q = 15q + -33
Reorder the terms:
23 + 7q = -33 + 15q
Solving
23 + 7q = -33 + 15q
Solving for variable 'q'.
Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-15q' to each side of the equation.
23 + 7q + -15q = -33 + 15q + -15q
Combine like terms: 7q + -15q = -8q
23 + -8q = -33 + 15q + -15q
Combine like terms: 15q + -15q = 0
23 + -8q = -33 + 0
23 + -8q = -33
Add '-23' to each side of the equation.
23 + -23 + -8q = -33 + -23
Combine like terms: 23 + -23 = 0
0 + -8q = -33 + -23
-8q = -33 + -23
Combine like terms: -33 + -23 = -56
-8q = -56
Divide each side by '-8'.
q = 7
Simplifying
q = 7
