Full solution

Q. Solve for qq.\newline2q=10+4q\sqrt{2q} = \sqrt{-10 + 4q}\newlineq=q = _____
  1. Square both sides: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square roots.\newline(2q)2=(10+4q)2(\sqrt{2q})^2 = (\sqrt{\text{–}10 + 4q})^2\newline2q=10+4q2q = \text{–}10 + 4q
  2. Subtract q terms: Subtract 4q4q from both sides to get all q terms on one side.\newline2q4q=10+4q4q2q - 4q = -10 + 4q - 4q\newline2q=10-2q = -10
  3. Divide by 2-2: Divide both sides by 2-2 to solve for qq.\newline2q/2=10/2-2q / -2 = -10 / -2\newlineq=5q = 5
