2/3X=.6
1/3X=.3
3/3X=.9
2/3 of anything means that if one breaks that thing into 3 parts, one if referencing 2 of those 3 parts. So if 2 of the parts is equal to 0.6, then the one part is half of that value, or a value of 0.3. Then, aggregating all the 3 parts results in a value for the whole of 0.9. You’re welcome :)!

Answer:


x=-(1)/(6)

Explanation:

Given equation:


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

Making the equation in standard form to find the value of 'x':


(2)/(3x)-2+6=0

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to the other side:


(2)/(3x)+4=0\\

Subtracting '4' both sides:


(2)/(3x)=-4

On cross multiplication:


2=-4(3x)


2=-12x


x=(2)/(-12) \\


x=-(1)/(6)
