How do I solve this equation: 1/2(-4 + 6x) = 1/3(2q - 1) + 4(2q + 1)

Answer 1

(1/2)(-4+6x) = (1/3)(2q-1) + 4(2q+1)

-2+ 3x = 2q/3 - 1/3 + 8q + 4

solve the equation, either for x or q

for x

3x = 26q/3 +5/3

x = 26q/9 + 5/9

or solve the equation for q

26q/3 = 3x -5/3

q = (3/26)(3x-5/3)

q = 9x/26 - 5/26
