How do you solve and check your solution given #4=-1/8q#?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

Multiply both sides with -8 and get your solution #q=-32#

The result of multiplying both sides by -8 is

#4*-8=-(-8/8)q#

which results in

#-32=q#

#q=-32# This is your answer. #q=-32#

To solve for ( q ), multiply both sides of the equation by ( -8 ) to isolate ( q ). Then, check the solution by substituting it back into the original equation to ensure it satisfies the equation. The solution is ( q = -32 ).
