Question

Solve the equation 2 over 3 (x − 2) = 4x for x.

negative 2 over 5

negative 5 over 2

2 over 5

5

Answer 1

if the problem is

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

start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, which eliminates the fraction

\[2(x -2) = 12x\]

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x - 2 = 6x

now you can solve for x.

hope this helps
