Answer:

4/7 =x

Explanation:

6 - 2/3(x+5)=4x

Multiply each side by 3 to clear the fraction

3(6 - 2/3(x+5))=4x*3

Distribute

18 -2(x+5) =12x

Distribute the 2

18 -2x-10 = 12x

Combine like terms

8 -2x = 12x

Add 2x to each side

8-2x+2x =12x+2x

8 = 14x

Divide by 14 on each side

8/14 =14x/14

4/7 =x
