-2q_{2}-\frac{1}{2}q_{1}=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-\frac{1}{2}q_{1}=-1+2q_{2}
Add 2q_{2} to both sides.
-\frac{1}{2}q_{1}=2q_{2}-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-\frac{1}{2}q_{1}}{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2q_{2}-1}{-\frac{1}{2}}
Multiply both sides by -2.
q_{1}=\frac{2q_{2}-1}{-\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing by -\frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{2}.
q_{1}=2-4q_{2}
Divide -1+2q_{2} by -\frac{1}{2} by multiplying -1+2q_{2} by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{2}.
-2q_{2}-\frac{1}{2}q_{1}=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2q_{2}=-1+\frac{1}{2}q_{1}
Add \frac{1}{2}q_{1} to both sides.
-2q_{2}=\frac{q_{1}}{2}-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2q_{2}}{-2}=\frac{\frac{q_{1}}{2}-1}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
q_{2}=\frac{\frac{q_{1}}{2}-1}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
q_{2}=-\frac{q_{1}}{4}+\frac{1}{2}
Divide -1+\frac{q_{1}}{2} by -2.
