solve for q.\n9q - 8q + q = 14\nq =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

Combine the terms with (q) on the left - hand side of the equation. (9q−8q + q=(9 - 8+1)q) Since (9−8 + 1=2), the equation becomes (2q = 14).

Step2: Solve for (q)

Divide both sides of the equation (2q = 14) by (2). (q=\frac{14}{2})
