Answer:
x=4/7
Explanation:
6 - 2/3(x+5) = 4x
First I want to clear the fraction so I will multiply everything by 3
3*6 -3* 2/3(x+5) = 3*4x
18 - 2(x+5) =12x
Distribute
18 - 2x-10 =12x
Combine like terms
8 -2x = 12x
Add 2x to each side
8 -2x+2x =12x+2x
8 = 14x
Divide each side by 14
8/14 =14x/14
8/14=x
Divide top and bottom by 2
4/7=x
