\left(2+3q\right)a=1
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(3q+2\right)a=1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(3q+2\right)a}{3q+2}=\frac{1}{3q+2}
Divide both sides by 2+3q.
a=\frac{1}{3q+2}
Dividing by 2+3q undoes the multiplication by 2+3q.
3aq=1-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides.
\frac{3aq}{3a}=\frac{1-2a}{3a}
Divide both sides by 3a.
q=\frac{1-2a}{3a}
Dividing by 3a undoes the multiplication by 3a.
q=-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3a}
Divide 1-2a by 3a.
