Question

3(q + 4/3) = 2

Solve for q

Answer 1

Answer:
`q=-2/3`

Simplify both sides of the equation

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

`3q+4=2`

Subtract 4 from both sides

`3q+4-4=2-4`

`3q=-2`

Divide both sides by 3

`3q/3=-2/3`

Final Answer:
`q=-2/3`

Answer 2

q = -2/3

Explanation:

3(q + 4/3) = 2

1) Distribute

3q + 4 = 2

2) Isolate q

3q = -2

q = -2/3

Final answer: q = -2/3
