Full solution

Q. Solve for qq.\newline5q=2q+3\sqrt{-5q} = \sqrt{-2q + 3}\newlineq=q = _____
  1. Square both sides: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square roots.\newline(5q)2=(2q+3)2(\sqrt{-5q})^2 = (\sqrt{-2q + 3})^2\newline5q=2q+3-5q = -2q + 3
  2. Move terms with q: Move all terms containing q to one side of the equation.\newline5q+2q=2q+2q+3-5q + 2q = -2q + 2q + 3\newline3q=3-3q = 3
  3. Divide by 3-3: Divide both sides by extendash 33 to solve for qq.3q(3)=3(3)\frac{-3q}{(-3)} = \frac{3}{(-3)}\[\(q = -1\)]
