2 / 3 ( x - 2 ) = 4x
Simplify both sides of the equation.
2/3(x−2)=4x
Simplify:
23(x−2)=4x
(2/3)(x)+(2/3)(−2)=4x(Distribute)
23x+(−4/3)=4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
2/3x+−4/3−4x=4x−4x
−10/3x+−4/3=0
Add 4/3 to both sides.
−10/3x+−4/3+4/3=0+4/3
−10/3x=4/3
Multiply both sides by 3/(-10).
(3/−10)*(−10/3x)=(3/−10)*(4/3)
x = −2/5
