-6q+5.8=23.8

q=3

q=-3***

q=-1.83

q=4.93

This is my last question, but I just want to know how to solve it with steps for further knowing.

Your answer is not correct.

-6q+5.8=23.8
Subtract 5.8 from both sides.
-6q = 18
q = 3

When dividing a positive number by a negative number, the quotient is positive.

Is 6q a negative?

Mrs. Sue it is correct I just did the quiz and the answer is -3 I just want to know how to get the answer. u might have read the question wrong. :(

18/-6= -3

yes, ms. sue it is negative.

To solve the equation -6q + 5.8 = 23.8 and find the value of q, follow these steps:

Step 1: Isolate the term with the variable, q.
-6q + 5.8 = 23.8
Subtract 5.8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the -6q term.
-6q = 23.8 - 5.8
-6q = 18

Step 2: To solve for q, divide both sides of the equation by -6.
When you divide by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.
q = 18 / -6
q = -3

Therefore, the value of q that satisfies the equation is q = -3.
