    q increased by the difference between 18 times q and 5

    Take this algebraic expression in parts.

    18 times q:
    18q

    The difference between 18 times q and 5 means we subtract 5 from 18q:
    18q - 5

    q increased by the difference between 18 times q and 5 means we add 18q - 5 to q:
    q + (18q - 5)
    q + 18q - 5

    IF we want to simplify, we group like terms:
    19q - 5
