Answer 2

°° Let's see -

Let's start by solving your equation step-by-step. I'll include steps :)

Rewrite the equation:

3 (q + 4/3) = 2

1) Simplify both sides of the equation.

3 (q + 4/3) = 2

Simplify the equation - With steps!

(3) (q) + (3) (4/3) = 2 (Distribute)

3q + 4 = 2

2) Subtract 4 from both sides.

3q + 4 - 4 = 2 - 4

3) Divide both sides by 3.

3q/3 = -2/3

q = -2/3

Final Answer:

q = -2/3
