Q:

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
