q + 13 = 120
__
8
I'm going to assume your problem is this:
(q/8) + 13 = 120
If so, start by subtracting 13 from both sides of the equation. Whatever operation you do to one side of an equation you must do to the other side as well. Next, multiply both sides by 8. Once you do that operation, you will be finished. To check, substitute the value you found for q back into the original equation. It always helps to check your work!
I hope this will help.
Actually, the equation you provided is not equivalent to the equation in your assumption.
The equation you provided is (q + 13) / 8 = 120.
To solve this equation, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to eliminate the denominator:
8 * (q + 13) / 8 = 120 * 8
q + 13 = 960
2. Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable q:
q + 13 - 13 = 960 - 13
q = 947
Therefore, the solution to the equation (q + 13) / 8 = 120 is q = 947.
To check this solution, you can substitute q = 947 back into the original equation and see if both sides are equal:
(947 + 13) / 8 = 120
960 / 8 = 120
120 = 120
Since both sides of the equation are equal, it confirms that the solution q = 947 is correct.
I apologize for the confusion caused by the misunderstanding earlier.
