Steps:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(q+/3
)=2
(3)(q)+(3)(
4
/3
)=2(Distribute)
3q+4=2
Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.
3q+4−4=2−4
3q=−2
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3q
/3 = −2
/3
How to solve for q?
1: Divide Both sides by the first number in this case it will be 3.
2: Then simplify the equation in this case our answer will lead up to 2/3
3: Subtract the value from both sides (4/3). The answer will lead up to -2/3.
Answer: q= −2
/3
