Question

Solve the following equation: 3(q + 4/3) = 2 A) q = 2/3 B) q = -2/3 C) q = 2 D) q = -2

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

given the equation

3(q +
`(4)/(3)` ) = 2 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by 3

3q + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3q + 4 - 4 = 2 - 4 ( simplify both sides )

3q = - 2 ( divide both sides by 3 )

`(3)/(3)` q =
`(-2)/(3)` , that is

q = -
`(2)/(3)`
