Answer

$q=-\frac{3}{4}$ and $q=-2$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow (4q+3)(q+2)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow 4q+3=0$ or $q+2=0$ Solve for $q$. $\Rightarrow q=-\frac{3}{4}$ or $q=-2$ Check:- $q=-\frac{3}{4}$ $\Rightarrow (4(-\frac{3}{4})+3)(-\frac{3}{4}+2)=0$ $\Rightarrow (-3+3)(\frac{5}{4})=0$ $\Rightarrow 0(\frac{5}{4})=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $q=-2$ $\Rightarrow (4(-2)+3)(-2+2)=0$ $\Rightarrow (-8+3)(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow (-5)0=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $q=-\frac{3}{4}$ and $q=-2$.
