We are given the following equation:


4-3(x+2)=0

We are asked to solve for "x". To do that we will subtract 4 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} 4-4-3(x+2)=-4 \\ -3(x+2)=-4 \end{gathered}

Now we will divide both sides by -3:


\begin{gathered} (-3(x+2))/(-3)=-(4)/(-3) \\ \\ x+2=(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

Now we will subtract 2 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} x+2-2=(4)/(3)-2 \\ x=-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of "x" is -2/3.
