q=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

18 = 6q + - 24

Reorder the terms:

18 = - 24 + 6q

Solving

18 = - 24 + 6q

Solving for variable 'q'.

Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6q' to each side of the equation.

18 + - 6q = - 24 + 6q + - 6q

Combine like terms: 6q + - 6q = 0

18 + - 6q = - 24 + 0

18 + - 6q = - 24

Add '-18' to each side of the equation.

18 + - 18 + - 6q = - 24 + - 18

Combine like terms: 18 + - 18 = 0

0 + - 6q = - 24 + - 18

-6q = - 24 + - 18

Combine like terms: - 24 + - 18 = - 42

-6q = - 42

Divide each side by '-6'.

q = 7

Simplifying

q = 7
