Hey there!
3(q + 34)= 2
First distribute:
3(q) + 3(34)
3(q) = 3q
3(34) = 102
New equation: 3q + 102 = 2
Subtract by 102 on each of your sides:
3q + 102 - 102 = 2 - 102
Cancel out: 102 - 102 because it gives us 0
Keep: 2 - 102 because it helps us solve for our q
2 - 102 = - 100
New equation: 3q = -100
Divide both sides by 3
3q/3 = -100/3
Cancel out: -3q/3 because it gives us 1
Keep: -100/3 because it gives us the answer for q
Answer: q = -100/3 ✅
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
