Question

$$5 ( q - 1 ) + 8 = 11$$

Solve for q

$q = \frac{8}{5} = 1\frac{3}{5} = 1.6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $q-1$.

$$5q-5+8=11$$

Add $-5$ and $8$ to get $3$.

$$5q+3=11$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$5q=11-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $11$ to get $8$.

$$5q=8$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$q=\frac{8}{5}$$
