To find the value of q, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8q=96 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{8q}{8}=\frac{96}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]Simplify both members of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow q=\frac{96}{8} \\ \Rightarrow q=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]q=12[/tex]
