Answer: q = -2/3

Explanation:

First, we need to apply the Distributive Law in order to proceed with the problem.

3(q + 4/3) = 2

3q + 3(4/3) = 2

We already know that 3(4/3) = 4, since the 3's cancel out. Or, 3(4/3) = 12/3 = 4.

Our new equation is,

3q + 4 = 2

Through transposition and isolation of variables, we get,

3q = -2

Dividing by 3 on both sides...

q = -2/3
