Question

Solve for x : 2/3 (x-4)=2x
Please help fast

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

hey there,

< First multiply out the exponents.

`(2)/(3) (x-4)` =
`(2)/(3)x-(8)/(3)`

`(2)/(3)x-(8)/(3) = 2x`

Move all the "x"s to one side and regular numbers to the other.

`(2)/(3)x-2x = (8)/(3)`

Simplify the "x"s by putting them both under the same denominator (3) then continuing to simplify.

`-(4)/(3)x = (8)/(3)`

Move the number -4/3 to the other side by multiplying the reciprocal.

`x = (8)/(3)`×(
`-(3)/(4)`)

That leaves you with x = -2. >
