I need help with this, please

x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we distribute (get rid of parentheses):

6x - 3 - 3x = 5 - x - 2

Then, we simplify:

3x - 3 = 3 - x

Then, we combine like terms:

3x + x = 3 + 3

Then, we simplify again:

4x + 6

Finally, we divide 4 on both sides:

We got x = 1.5

Hope this helps!

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
