Question

4.5q-1.5-4.4q=0.9q-3.2

Answer 1

Well, start off by collecting all the terms with letters on the left-hand side and then all the terms with numbers on the right hand side.

Answer 2

I get...
.1q-1.5=0.9q-3.2
.1q-1.5-0.9q=0.9q-3.2-0.9q
-.8q-1.5+1.5=-3.2+1.5
-.8q=-1.7
-2.125

Just doesn't look right
