Question

Solve 3q - 5 = 13 for q.

Answer 1

⇒ Answer:

$q = 6$

⇒ Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve!

$3q -5 = 13$

⇒ First we add 5 to both sides.

$3q -5 = 13$

   $+ 5$     $+ 5$

    $3q = 18$

⇒ Next we divide both sides by 3.

 $\frac{3q}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$

$q = 6$

Answer 2

Answer:

q = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for q, isolate the variable.

3q - 5 = 13

Move -5 to the right side and perform the inverse operation. Since you were subtracting on the left, add on the right.

3q = 13 + 5

3q = 18

The last step is to isolate the variable by dividing 3 by 18. The reason you divide on the right is because you were multiplying on the left, and you need to perform the inverse operation.

q = $\frac{18}{3}$

q = 6
