Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2/3(x - 2) = 4x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute 2/3:                                  2/3x - 4/3 = 4x
  2. Subtract 2/3x on both sides:          -4/3 = 10/3x
  3. Divide 10/3 on both sides:              -2/5 = x
  4. Rewrite:                                            x = -2/5

We start with 2/3(x

−

2) = 4r

Distributing the LHS: 2/3x - 4/3 = 4x

subtracting 2/3x from both sides: -4/3 = 10/3x

Multiplying both sides by  3: -4 = 10x

Dividing both sides by  10

: -4/10 = 10x

Then we come up with -2/5.

I think it's the answer anyway:/

Hope it helps.
