See a solution process below:

First, subtract #color(red)(102)# from each side of the equation to isolate the #q# term while keeping the equation balanced:

#q/29 + 102 - color(red)(102) = 104 - color(red)(102)#

#q/29 + 0 = 2#

#q/29 = 2#

Now, multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(29)# to solve for #q# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(29) xx q/29 = color(red)(29) xx 2#

#cancel(color(red)(29)) xx q/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(29))) = 58#

#q = 58#
