Answer:
X= -14/3
Explanation:
Subtract \frac{4}{3}
3
4
from both sides.
2x=-8-\frac{4}{3}
2x=−8−
3
4
2 Simplify -8-\frac{4}{3}−8−
3
4
to -\frac{28}{3}−
3
28
.
2x=-\frac{28}{3}
2x=−

28
3 Divide both sides by 22.
x=-\frac{\frac{28}{3}}{2}
x=−
2

28
4 Simplify \frac{\frac{28}{3}}{2}
2
3
28
to \frac{28}{3\times 2}
3×2
28
.
x=-\frac{28}{3\times 2}
x=−
3×2

5 Simplify 3\times 23×2 to 66.
x=-\frac{28}{6}
x=−
6
28
6 Simplify \frac{28}{6}
