First you add like terms so add your q's and get 10q then rewrite your problem so it looks like 10q-15=-1 then sdd the 15 to its self so it cancels out and add it to -1 so its 14 rewrite your problem so it looks 10q=14 then divide 10q by ten because you want q by its self and then divide the 14 by 10 so your final answer is q=14/10.

what is the solution ? 4q - 15 = 6q - 1

4q - 6q = - 1 + 15

- 2q = 14

q = %2814%29%2F-2, or highlight_green%28-7%29
