Answer
$q=13$
Work Step by Step
Use the Division Property of Equality by dividing both sides of the equation by $4$:
$$\begin{align*}
\frac{4q}{4}&=\frac{52}{4}\\
q&=13\end{align*}$$
Check the solution by substituting $13$ to the variable in the given equation:
$$\begin{align*}
4q&=52\\
4(13)&\stackrel{?}{=}52\\
52&\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}52\end{align*}$$
Thus, the solution is $q=13$.
