You need to add 4 to both sides of the equation like @iambatman said @dalton5120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the 2 and 3 above x-4=-2 supposed be doing?

@dalton5120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 2 3 x−4=−2 Step 1: Add 4 to both sides. 2 3 x−4+4=−2+4 2 3 x=2 Step 2: Divide both sides by 2/3. 2 3 x 2 3 = 2 2 3 x=3 Answer: x=3 srry if that's confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now plug in 3 for x and solve! Then your equation is done :)
