Solve and check the following equation-15=5(3q-10)-5q
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: q = 7/2 = 3.500Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange:Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 5*(3*q-10)-5*q-(-15)=0 Step by step solution :Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : (5 • (3q - 10) - 5q) - -15 = 0 Step 2 :Step 3 :Pulling out like terms : 3.1 Pull out like factors : 10q - 35 = 5 • (2q - 7) Equation at the end of step 3 : 5 • (2q - 7) = 0 Step 4 :Equations which are never true : 4.1 Solve : 5 = 0This equation has no solution.A a non-zero constant never equals zero.Solving a Single Variable Equation : 4.2 Solve : 2q-7 = 0 Add 7 to both sides of the equation : 2q = 7Divide both sides of the equation by 2: q = 7/2 = 3.500
