Solve equations with the distributive property

Full solution

Q. Solve for

q

.

\newline

2(q + 7) - 3 = 3

\newline

q =

_____

Distribute and Simplify: Simplify the equation by distributing the $2$ into the parentheses. $2(q + 7) − 3 = 3$ $2q + 14 - 3 = 3$ $2q + 11 = 3$
Isolate q: Isolate q by subtracting $11$ from both sides. $\newline$ $2q + 11 - 11 = 3 - 11$ $\newline$ $2q = -8$
Divide to Solve: Divide both sides by $2$ to solve for $q$ . $\frac{2q}{2} = \frac{-8}{2}$ $q = -4$
