Solve for :
2 x -
(x - 2) = 4x

Answer 1

`\small \sf (2)/(3) = x \\`

Explanation:

Solve for x;

2x - ( x - 2 ) = 4x

distribute minus sign through parantheses

• 2x - x + 2 = 4x

combine like terms

• x + 2 = 4x

subtract x from both side

• x - x + 2 = 4x - x
• 2 = 3 x

Divide each side by 3

`\small \sf (2)/(3) = (3x)/(3) \\`

`\small \sf (2)/(3) = x\: \\`
