The answer is 2/3. option A

The given expression:


3x\text{ = 6x-2}

First thing we'll do, is to collect like terms.


3x-6x\text{ = -2}

Then we solve for x


\begin{gathered} -3x\text{ = -2 } \\ \text{divide both sides by -3} \\ (-3x)/(-3)=\text{ }(-2)/(-3) \\ x\text{ = }(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

The answer is 2/3. option A
