2/3 (x − 2) = 4x We dont like fractions that much, so you can simplify. How?
how to get rid of 2/3? That is division. So you need the opposite to get rid of.
multiply by 3 both sides 2/3 (x − 2) *3= 4x*3 2(x-2)=12x
again you can simplify
2 is a factor of the left hand side and RHS

So you divide by 2 2(x-2)=12x (x-2)=6x
the bracket is not needed anymore x-2=6x Take the same parts to the same side of he equation
-x both sides -2=5x
divide by 5 to get x
hope it is clear
