how would i solve this to tell if it is always, sometimes, or never true? 2/3x+4=2x

Question

lalaly · Answer

$$\frac{2}{3x}+4=2x$$
multiply both sides by 3x
so equation becomes $$2+4(3x)=2x(3x)$$now solve for x

anonymous · Answer

it's sometimes. because if you put 3 into the equation, it works.
but if you put 0 it doesn't.

anonymous · Answer

thank you so much! how would you solve these equations
1. (m-2)-5=8-2(m-4)


and

A=1/2h(b1+b2) solving for b2

so for quesiton 1. you move the numbers to one side. so it turns into
(m-2)+2(m-4)=8+5       
when you move the numbers to one side the signs in front of the numbers needs to be changed also.
then it'll turn into
3m-10=13
3m=23
