-(2)/(3)(3x-4)+3x=(5)/(6)\ \ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\-(2)/(\\ot3_1)\cdot\\ot3^1x+(8)/(3)+3x=(5)/(6)\\\\-2x+3x+(8)/(3)=(5)/(6)\ \ \ \ |-(8)/(3)\\\\x=(5)/(6)-(8)/(3)\\\\x=(5)/(6)-(8\cdot2)/(3\cdot2)\\\\x=(5)/(6)-(16)/(6)\\\\\boxed{x=-(11)/(6)}

Other method:


-(2)/(3)(3x-4)+3x=(5)/(6)\ \ \ \ |\cdot6\\\\2(-2)(3x-4)+18x=5\\\\-4(3x-4)+18x=5\ \ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\-12x+16+18x=5\ \ \ \ |-16\\\\6x=-11\ \ \ \ |:6\\\\\boxed{x=-(11)/(6)}
