Evaluate
16q2×q
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
16q2+1
Add the numbers
16q3
16q3−13q=15
Move the expression to the left side
16q3−13q−15=0
Factor the expression
(4q−5)(4q2+5q+3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
4q−5=04q2+5q+3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4q−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4q=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4q=5
Divide both sides
44q=45
Divide the numbers
