Answer 2

2/3x-8/3=4
2/3x=20/3
x=10/9

Answer 3

?

Answer 4

\[\frac 13 (2x - 8) = 4\]
cross multiply
\[2x - 8 = 4 \times 3\]
\[2x - 8 = 12\]
\[2x = 12 + 8\]
\[2x = 20\]
\[x = \frac{20}{2}\]

Answer 5

\[\frac{1}{3}(2x-8)=4\] multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of annoying fraction and start with
\[2x-8=12\]

Answer 6

or if you want that other method
\[\frac 13 (2x - 8) = 4\]
\[\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{8}{3} = 4\]
multiply everything by 3
\[2x - 8 = 4 \times 3\]
it will now go on the same line

METHOD 3:
\[\frac 13 (2x - 8) = 4\]
\[\frac 23 x - \frac 83 = 4\]
\[\frac{2x - 8}{3} = 4\]
\[2x - 8 = 4 \times 3\]
yada yada...
