I'm having trouble figuring out where to begin. The year just started, so my knowledge is foggy and algebra 2 is throwing me for a loop. The paths I'm trying to take to solve this don't work. Solving for x on either function of q gives me a weird fraction, substitution doesn't work either, and I tried to just make x equal -6, since -2*-6=12... but 5-7(-6) gives me -37, which doesn't feel right either.
I don't know if I'm overthinking it or underthinking it, and I would kindly appreciate your help.
