Question

Solve for x: 2 over 3 (x − 2) = 4x. (1 point)

a negative 2 over 5
b negative 5 over 2
c 2 over 5
d 5

Answer 1

Explanation:

2 / 3(x- 2) = 4x ....multiply both sides by 3/2

x - 2 = 4x(3/2)

x - 2 = 6x

-2 = 6x - x

-2 = 5x

-2/5 = x <=== ur answer is A

check..

2/3(x - 2) = 4x

2/3(-2/5 - 2) = 4(-2/5)

2/3(-2/5 - 10/5) = -8/5

2/3(-12/5) = -8/5

-24/15 = -8/5

-8/5 = -8/5....correct

Answer 2
