@Sosa_  Can u plz write it using equation function......?

anonymous · Answer

$$slove for X: \frac{ 2 }{ 3} (x-4)=2x$$

anonymous · Answer

solve

anonymous · Answer

so, now 2x*3/2=x-4
hence, 3x=x-4
so, 3x-x=-4
thus, 2x=-4
hence x=-2.......now learn to these type of linear equations by yourself.....visit khanacademy, you will understand how to solve them better and faster.

2/3x-8/3=2x
multiply both sides by 3
2x-8=6x
4x=-8
x=-2

@Sosa_  See the method i showed you is easier because when you bring 2/3 on the other side as 3/2, 2 on the numerator and denominator gets cancelled and you are left with 3x and then transposition becomes easier.......although it depends on what you feel easier but after a while you will be expected to mentally solve these equations, for that you may find this method easier.......
