Answer
$q \leq -4$
Work Step by Step
Distribute on the left side of the equation:
$3q + 12 \leq -2q - 8$
Subtract $12$ from each side of the equation to move constants to the right side of the equation:
$3q \leq -2q - 20$
Add $2q$ to each side of the equation to move variables to the left side of the equation:
$5q \leq -20$
Divide each side by $5$ to solve for $q$:
$q \leq -4$
