QuestionSolve for qq: 5(3q)+4=5q11-5(3-q)+4=5q-11.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is 5(3q)+4=5q11-5(3-q)+4=5 q-11 . We are solving for the variable qq

STEP 2

First, distribute the 5-5 on the left side of the equation.
5(q)+4=15+5q+4-5(-q)+4 = -15+5q+4

STEP 3

implify the left side of the equation.
15+5q+=11+5q-15+5q+ = -11+5q

STEP 4

Now, simplify the right side of the equation.
q11q-11

STEP 5

Set the simplified left side of the equation equal to the simplified right side of the equation.
11+5q=5q11-11+5q =5q-11

STEP 6

Subtract 5q5q from both sides of the equation to isolate qq on one side.
11=11-11 = -11

STEP 7

The equation 11=11-11 = -11 is true for all values of qq. Therefore, the original equation 5(3q)+4=5q11-5(3-q)+4=5 q-11 has infinitely many solutions.
So, the solution is qq is any real number.
