Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. -2q - 8 = 4 -2q = q = add 8 to both sides subtract 8 from both sides multiply both sides by 8 divide both sides by 8 apply the distributive property

Explanation:

Step1: Add 8 to both sides

$-2q - 8 + 8 = 4 + 8$
$\implies -2q = 12$

Step2: Divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2q}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2}$
$\implies q = -6$

Answer:

Missing description: Add 8 to both sides
$-2q = 12$
$q = -6$
