Answer:

q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 3(q - 4) = 2(q + 1)

To solve, you need to get q by itself on one side.

5 + 3q - 12 = 2q + 2 --- distribute the multipliers next to the parenthesis

3q - 7 = 2q + 2 --- combine like terms

q - 7 = 2 --- subtract 2q from both sides

q = 9 --- add 7 to both sides
