What is the solution to the equation? 8q + 4 = 20 q = 2 q = 4 q = 16 q = 24

Isolate the q. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Subtract 4 from both sides

8q + 4 (-4) = 20 (-4)

8q = 20 - 4

8q = 16

Next, divide 8 from both sides to isolate the q

8q/8 = 16/8

q = 16/8

q = 2

q = 2 is your answer

hope this helps
