Question
Solve the equation
q=−4
Evaluate
−50=6(q−5)−q
Swap the sides of the equation
6(q−5)−q=−50
Move the expression to the left side
6(q−5)−q−(−50)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(6−1)q
Subtract the numbers
5q
5q−30+50
Add the numbers
5q+20
5q+20=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5q=0−20
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5q=−20
Divide both sides
55q=5−20
