Question

in solving \\(\frac{q + r}{s} = t\\) for \\(q\\), begin by:
\\(\circ\\) a. subtracting \\(r\\) from both sides
\\(\circ\\) b. adding \\(r\\) to both sides
\\(\circ\\) c. multiplying both sides by \\(s\\)
\\(\circ\\) d. dividing both sides by \\(t\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the goal

Solve for \( q \) in \( \frac{q+r}{s} = t \).

Step2: Isolate numerator

Multiply both sides by \( s \): \( q + r = ts \).

Step3: Conclusion

First step is multiplying by \( s \).

Answer:

c. Multiplying both sides by s
