Question

If X=2 find the value of q in the equation 3x-4= X+q​

Answer 1

the value of q is 0.

q=0

Explanation:

fill in the x with 2

3(2)-4=2+q

multiply:

6-4=2+q

Subtract:

2=2+q

rearrange terms:

2=q+2

subtract 2 from both sides

2-2=q+2-2

q=0

Answer 2

`3x - 4 = x + q \\ 3(2) - 4 - (2) = q \\ 6 - 4 - 2 = q \\ 0 = q \: \: or \: \: q = 0`
