Exercise 72 Page 314

Start by using the Addition Property of Equality.

q=27

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation, we have to isolate q on one side. We will begin by adding 3 to both sides. This is allowed by the Addition Property of Equality.
q/3-3=6
q/3-3+3=6+3
q/3=9
Now that the q term is isolated, we will use the Multiplication Property of Equality to eliminate the coefficient 13.
q/3=9
q/3*3=9*3
q=9*3
q=27
