Question

Solve for x 2/3 (x - 2) = 4x​

Answer 1

`-(2)/(5) =x`

Explanation:

`(2)/(3) (x-2)=4x`

First, solve the brackets.

`(2x)/(3)-(4)/(3) =4x`

`(2x-4)/(3) =4x`

Now you can use cross multiplication.

`(2x-4)/(3) =(4x)/(1)`

`2x-4=3*4x`

`2x-4=12x`

Now take 2x to the other side.

`-4=12x-2x`

`-4=10x`

`(-4)/(10) =(10x)/(10)`

`(-4)/(10) =x`

Now let us make the fraction in it's simplest form.

For that divide both sides by 2.

`-(2)/(5) =x`

Hope this helps :-)
