which becomes:



simplify by removing parentheses to get:



combine like terms to get:



subtract from both sides of the equation and subtract 4 from both sides of the equation and combine like terms to get:

4q = -6

divide both sides of the equation by 4 to get:

q = -6/4 = -3/2

plug that value of q into your original equation to confirm that the equation is true.

I did that and confirmed the original equation is true.

your answer is that q = -3/2
