A.) After adding 4 to both sides, the equation is -2/3x=-2.
B.) After adding 4 to both sides, the equation is -2/3x=-10 .
C.) The equation can be solved for x using exactly one more step by multiplying both sides by -3/2.
D.) The equation can be solved for x using exactly one more step by dividing both sides by -2/3.
E.) The equation can be solved for x using exactly one more step by multiplying both sides by -2/3.

Answer with explanation:

The given equation is


-4 -(2 x)/(3)= -6\\\\{\text{adding 4 on both sides}}\\\\ -4 -(2 x)/(3)+4= -6+4\\\\(-2 x)/(3)=-2

Multiplying both sides by
(-3)/(2)


(-2x)/(3)*(-3)/(2)=-2* (-3)/(2)\\\\ x=3

You can get the result by dividing both side of equation by
(-2)/(3)

The Correct Options are

Option A: After adding 4 to both sides, the equation is
(-2 x)/(3)= -2

Option (C.) The equation can be solved for x using exactly one more step by multiplying both sides by -3/2.

Option (D.) The equation can be solved for x using exactly one more step by dividing both sides by -2/3.
