Answer:
Given that to solve
a) 2(q+4)=16
we get,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\mleft(q+4\mright)=16 \\ 2q+8=16 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]2q=16-8[/tex][tex]2q=8[/tex]Dividing 2 on both sides we get,
[tex]q=4[/tex]Answer is: q=4
b)7j+2=12+5j
we get,
[tex]7j+2=12+5j[/tex][tex]7j-5j=12-2[/tex][tex]2j=10[/tex]Dividing 2 on both sides, we get
[tex]j=10[/tex]c) 12z=60-3z
we get,
[tex]12z=60-3z[/tex][tex]12z+3z=60[/tex][tex]15z=60[/tex]Dividing 15 on both sides we get,
[tex]z=4[/tex]
