Answer

$q = 27$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{2}{3}q= 18$ We need to isolate the variable $q$ by multiplying through by the reciprocal of the coefficient of $q$ which is $\frac{3}{2}$ as shown below: $\frac{2}{3}q \times \frac{3}{2}= 18 \times \frac{3}{2}$ Simplifying we have: $q = 27$ Therefore, the equation has a possible solution at $q = 27$
