Question

Solve for x: 2/3 (x − 2) = 4x.

Answer 1

2/3 (x − 2) = 4x
We dont like fractions that much, so you can simplify.
How?

Answer 2

how to get rid of 2/3?
That is division. So you need the opposite to get rid of.

Answer 3

multiply by 3 both sides
2/3 (x − 2) *3= 4x*3
2(x-2)=12x

Answer 4

again you can simplify

Answer 5

2 is a factor of the left hand side and RHS

Answer 6

So you divide by 2
2(x-2)=12x
(x-2)=6x

Answer 7

the bracket is not needed anymore
x-2=6x
Take the same parts to the same side of he equation

Answer 8

-x both sides
-2=5x

Answer 9

divide by 5 to get x
