find q if:
2q
-- +3q=5
6
(2 q/6) + 3 q = 5 ???
if so then
(q/3) + 3 q = 5
q/3 + 9q/3 = 5
10 q = 15
q = 15/10
q = 3/2 or 1.5
thank you!
To find the value of q, we can solve the equation step by step.
First, we multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction:
6 * (2q/6) + 6 * (3q/6) = 6 * 5
Canceling out the denominators, this simplifies to:
2q + 3q = 30
Combining like terms, we have:
5q = 30
To isolate q, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
(5q)/5 = 30/5
This simplifies to:
q = 6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is q = 6.
