If -13(q+4) is equal to 7q+16 what’s is q

Answer :

Answer:

q = - 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

- 13(q + 4) = 7q + 16 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 13q - 52 = 7q + 16 ( subtract 7q from both sides )

- 20q - 52 = 16 ( add 52 to both sides )

- 20q = 68 ( divide both sides by - 20 )

q = - 3.4
