Solve for X: 2/3(x-4)=2x
I got -2 but I don't think I am right.

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3(x-4) } = 2x\]
OpenStudy (popitree):
is this the equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No its like 2 over 3 * (x-4) =2x
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
2(x-4)
------ = 2x
3
this wann be there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No its like 2/3 multiplied by (x-4) = 2x

2(x-4) 2x
------ = ----
3 1
cross multiplie and so what will get ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I ended up with negative 2 but I do not think I am correct.
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
how you have got it ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So we would put 3/2 and multiply it by 2x/1
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
2(x-4) 2x
------ = ----
3 1
cross multiplie what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
1*2(x-4) = 3*2x
yes ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay... just got 1 but thats definitely not the answer....
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
please try it with me now step by step
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay so then we would subtract so -2 is right :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1*2(x-4)=3*2x
2x-8=6x
-2 -2
-8/4=4x/4
-2 = x :D
