Find the answer to 3(q+34)=2

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

q = -100/3 ✅

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

good luck on your studies! : )
