[tex]2-6(3q+1)=-112
[/tex]
Distribute:
[tex]2+(-6)(3q)+(-6)(1)=-112[/tex]
[tex]2+-18q+-6=-112
[/tex]
Combine Like Terms:
[tex](-18q)+(2+-6)=-112
[/tex]
[tex]-18q+-4=-112
[/tex]
[tex]-18q-4=-112
[/tex]
Add 4 to both sides:
[tex]-18q-4+4=-112+4
[/tex]
[tex]-18q=-108[/tex]
Divide both sides by -18:
[tex] \frac{-18q}{-18} = \frac{-108}{-18} [/tex]
Answer:
[tex]q=6
[/tex]
Good luck with your studies, I hope this helps!~
