Start Equation Setup: Start with the equation 10−5q=−3q. We want to get all the q terms on one side of the equation to solve for q. 10−5q=−3q Add 5q to both sides to move the q terms to one side. 10−5q+5q=−3q+5q
Combine Q Terms: Simplify both sides of the equation.10=2qNow we have isolated the q terms on one side of the equation.
Isolate Q Terms: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for q.210=22qq=5
