To solve the equation \(0.5 = 6(q - 5) - 19\), we need to isolate the variable \(q\). Here are the high-level steps:
First, we distribute the 6 in the equation \(0.5 = 6(q - 5) - 19\): \[ 0.5 = 6q - 30 - 19 \]
Next, we combine the constants on the right-hand side: \[ 0.5 = 6q - 49 \]
To isolate \(q\), we add 49 to both sides of the equation: \[ 0.5 + 49 = 6q \] \[ 49.5 = 6q \]
Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to solve for \(q\): \[ q = \frac{49.5}{6} \] \[ q = 8.25 \]
\[ q = \frac{99}{12} = \frac{33}{4} \] \[ \boxed{q = \frac{33}{4}} \]
