How was louisiana at one point divided up?

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!
