Question

Mario tried to solve an equation step by step.

Answer 1

Step 2

Explanation:

Mario made a mistake in Step 2 when substracting
`(1)/(3)` from
`(4)/(3)`. When substracting his result ended up being
`(2)/(3)` but it is actually....

`(4)/(3) - (1)/(3) = (4-1)/(3) = (3)/(3) = 1`

so the right answer is
`q = 1`
