70-q-q-2q=80 or, 70 - 2q - 2q = 80 or, 70 - 4q = 80 or, -4q = 80 - 70 or, -4q = 10 or, q = 10/-4 or, q = -2.5 (ans)

To solve the equation, we simplify it to find q = − 2.5 . After combining like terms and isolating q , we divide by -4 to get the solution. This process helps us understand how to balance the equation step-by-step.
