Answer:


(2(3b+2))/(3a).

Explanation:

1. Write the expression.


(2)/(3a) *(3b+2)

2. Apply the distributive rule of multiplication.

Take a look at the attached image.


((2)/(3a) *3b)+((2)/(3a) *2)\\ \\(2*3b)/(3a) +(2*2)/(3a)\\ \\(6b)/(3a) +(4)/(3a)

3. Add up the fractions.


(6b+4)/(3a)

4. Factorize the numerator.


(2(3b+2))/(3a).
