Let's simplify the left-hand side of the equation first:

7[x+4] - 2[(x-3(5+x)] = 2/3 [x-6]

7x + 28 - 2[x - 15 - 3x] = 2/3 [x-6] // Distribute the negative sign

7x + 28 - 2x + 30 + 6x = 2/3 [x-6] // Simplify the terms inside the parentheses

11x + 58 = 2/3 [x-6] // Simplify the terms on the left-hand side

Multiplying both sides by 3 gives:

33x + 174 = 2(x-6) // Distribute 2/3 on the right-hand side

33x + 174 = 2x - 12

Subtracting 2x and 174 from both sides gives:

31x = -186

Dividing both sides by 31 gives:

x = -6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6
