Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

Given


(x-2)/(2) +
(x-2(x-4))/(6) =
(x)/(3)

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 2, 6, 3 ) to clear the fractions

3(x - 2) + x - 2(x - 4) = 2x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

3x - 6 + x - 2x + 8 = 2x

2x + 2 = 2x ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 2x - 2 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

0 = - 2 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution
