Full solution

Q. Solve for qq.\newline66q=9q\sqrt{6 - 6q} = \sqrt{-9q}\newlineq=q = _____
  1. Square both sides: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square roots.\newline(66q)2=(9q)2(\sqrt{6 - 6q})^2 = (\sqrt{-9q})^2\newline66q=9q6 - 6q = -9q
  2. Add qq terms: Add 9q9q to both sides of the equation to get all the qq terms on one side.\newline66q+9q=9q+9q6 - 6q + 9q = -9q + 9q\newline6+3q=06 + 3q = 0
  3. Subtract to isolate qq: Subtract 66 from both sides of the equation to isolate the qq term.\newline6+3q6=066 + 3q - 6 = 0 - 6\newline3q=63q = -6
  4. Divide to solve for q: Divide both sides of the equation by 33 to solve for q.\newline3q3=63\frac{3q}{3} = \frac{-6}{3}\newlineq=2q = -2
