Question

solve for x: 2/3 (x-2) = 4

- 2/5
- 5/2
2/5
5

Answer 1

Is it

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

Answer 2

It couldn't be the first one because

\[\frac{2}{3}(x - 2) = 4\]\[x - 2 = 4\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)\]\[x - 2 = 6\]\[x = 6 + 2\]\[x = 8\] Which isn't any of the answer choices.

Answer 3

So maybe it's the second one

Answer 4

\[2 = 4*3(x - 2)\]
\[2 = 12(x - 2)\]
\[1 = 6(x - 2)\]
\[\frac{1}{6} = x - 2\]
\[\frac{1}{6} + 2 = x\]
\[\frac{1}{6} + \frac{12}{6} = x\]
\[\frac{13}{6} = x\]

Nope, not that one either.


Maybe you have the wrong answer choices listed.

Answer 5

Ok so im not the only one who got x = 8 lol
