Question

Solve for x: 2 over 3 (x − 2) = 4x. (1 point)

negative 2 over 5
negative 5 over 2
2 over 5
5

Answer 1

2/3(x-2)=4x
2(x-2)/3 = 4x
2x-4/3 = 4x
2x-4/3 - 4x = 4x - 4x
2x - 4 / 3 - 4x = 0
3 ( 2x - 4 / 3 - 4x ) = 3 * 0
-10x - 4 = 0
- 10 - 4 + 4 =0 + 4
-10x = 4
-10x/-10 = 4/-10
x = -2/5

negative 2 over 5

Answer 2

Not sure what do with the other numbers? Like the -2/5
Maybe put them instead of the 2/3?
