Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

-2 ( x + 1/3 ) + 9 x = 4 Distribute -2 through the parenthesis

-2x - 2/3 + 9x = 4 Collect like terms

7x - 2/3 = 4 Move constant to the right side and change its sign

7x = + 2/3 Calculate the sum

7x = 14/3 Divide both sides of the equation by 7

x = 2/3 or

x = 0.6 repeating
