Always try to reduce the number of letters you see. In this case, subtract 2q from both right and left sides to simplify the expression.
2q - 2q = 0 and 7q - 2q = 5q.
The expression has become: 0+10 = 5q which is the same as 5q = 10.
Then, we divide both 5q and 10 by 5 to simplify the expression to q = 2.
