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
