How do you solve the equation -q-11 equals 2q plus 4?

-q-11=2q+4 you would subtract 4 from both sides 4 and -4 cancel out and -11-4= -15 then you get -q-15=2q then you would add Q(1) to both sides (-q and q cancel out) then u get -15=3q thn u divide 3 to both sides (3 and 3 become q) then u get q=-5
