Full solution

Q. Solve for qq.\newline8=2(q5)8 = 2(q - 5)\newlineq=q = ____\_\_\_\_
  1. Divide by 22: Step 11: Divide both sides by 22 to simplify the equation.\newline82=2(q5)2\frac{8}{2} = \frac{2(q - 5)}{2}\newline4=q54 = q - 5
  2. Add 55: Step 22: Add 55 to both sides to isolate qq.\newline4+5=q5+54 + 5 = q - 5 + 5\newline9=q9 = q
