3(Q-2) + 2 = 5Q - 7 - 2Q Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST YOU DON'T HAVE EXPONENTS. YOU HAVE FACTORS OR UNKNOWNS.
AND YES THEY CANCEL THEMSELVES OUT.
THUS THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE VALUE Q.
3(Q-2) + 2 = 5Q - 7 - 2Q
3Q-6+2=5Q-7-2Q
3Q-5Q+2Q=-7+6
5Q-5Q=-1
0Q=-1 NO SOLUTION FOR Q.
