3-4q=10q%2B10 Start with the given equation


-4q=10q%2B10-3Subtract 3 from both sides


-4q-10q=10-3 Subtract 10q from both sides


-14q=10-3 Combine like terms on the left side


-14q=7 Combine like terms on the right side


q=%287%29%2F%28-14%29 Divide both sides by -14 to isolate q



q=-1+%2F+2 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is q=-1+%2F+2 (which is q=-0.5 in decimal form)
