To solve for ( q ) in the equation ( 16q + 2q – 13q = 15 ), first combine the like terms on the left side.
1. Combine the ( q ) terms:
[
16q + 2q – 13q = (16 + 2 – 13)q = 5q
]
2. Now the equation simplifies to:
[
5q = 15
]
3. To isolate ( q ), divide both sides by 5:
[
q = frac{15}{5} = 3
]
So, the solution is ( q = 3 ). If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!
