Question 514058
{{{-15=5(3q-10)-5q}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-15=15q-50-5q}}} Distribute.



{{{-15=10q-50}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{0=10q-50+15}}} Add {{{15}}} to both sides.



{{{-10q=-50+15}}} Subtract {{{10q}}} from both sides.



{{{-10q=-35}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{q=(-35)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{q}}}.



{{{q=7/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{q=7/2}}}
