Answer:

Explanation:

You first collect isolate all the variables

-3x+4/5=-2/3x+12

Subtract 4/5 from both side and add2/3x from both sides

-7/3x=56/5

You then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the variable, in this case -3/7

-7/3x*(-3/7)=(56/5)*(-3/7)

x=-168/35

x=-24/5
