Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's write this equation out.

2/3+1/3x=2x

We want to get all of the variables on the left side and all the numbers on the right side so we can see what number x is equal to. First, Let's subtract 2/x from both sides.

2/3+1/3x-2x=0

We subtract 2/3 from both sides.

1/3x-2x=-2/3

We combine our x values.

-5/3x=-2/3

We divide both sides by -5/3.

x=-5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
