Answer:
[tex]q = 8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6q = -8 + 7q \\ 7q -8 = 6q \\ 7q - 6q - 8 = 0 \\ q = 8[/tex]
6q = -8 + 7q
move 7q to the other side
sign changes from +7q to -7q
6q-7q= -8+7q-7q (combine like terms)
6q-7q= -8
-q= -8
mutiply both sides by -1 to get +q
(-q)(-1)= (-8)(-1)
Answer:
q= 8
