-5=10k+q+q
Combine -3k and 13k to get 10k.
-5=10k+2q
Combine q and q to get 2q.
10k+2q=-5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
10k=-5-2q
Subtract 2q from both sides.
10k=-2q-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{10k}{10}=\frac{-2q-5}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
k=\frac{-2q-5}{10}
Dividing by 10 undoes the multiplication by 10.
k=-\frac{q}{5}-\frac{1}{2}
Divide -2q-5 by 10.
-5=-3k+13k+q+q
Subtract 4 from -1 to get -5.
-5=10k+q+q

2q=-5-10k
Subtract 10k from both sides.
2q=-10k-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2q}{2}=\frac{-10k-5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
q=\frac{-10k-5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
q=-5k-\frac{5}{2}
Divide -5-10k by 2.
