OK I SEE U R

Answer 5

AND CAN U SHOW ME HOW U DID IT?

Answer 6

ok... so multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the 3 in the denominator of the fraction

\[3 \times \frac{2}{3} (x - 4) = 3 \times 2x\]

so you will have

2(x - 4) = 6x

you now need to distribute 2(x - 4)

Answer 7

can you do that?

2x - 8 = 6x
-2x -2x
