Answer 3

@jdoe0001

Answer 4

hi!!

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

i hate fractions

Answer 8

multiply both sides by 3 and get
\[2(x-4)=6x\] is a good start

Answer 9

I get everything except the 2x part

Answer 10

Multiply the 2/3 by x/1

Answer 11

What do you mean ?

Answer 12

your fraction in front is \(\frac{2}{3}\) right?

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

Make the -4 12/3 and keep that 2/3x

Answer 15

And make the 2x , 6/3x, it'll make it all Easter if it's all fractions

Answer 16

lets go slow

Answer 17

\(\bf \cfrac{2}{3}(x-4)=2x\implies \cfrac{2(x-4)}{{\color{brown}{ 3}}}=2x
\\ \quad \\
2(x-4)={\color{brown}{ 3}}(2x)\implies 2x-8=6x\implies ?=x\)

Answer 18

want a picture of wavy I'd do ?

Answer 19

I don't wanna push you guys but can you do the problem step-by-step because im not getting anything? It would be helpful.

Answer 20

Sure retro

Answer 21

Thanks jdoe

Answer 22

I wanna see everyone of your answer with your ways and see which one easiest so I can do them on my own later :D

Answer 23

\[\frac{2}{3}(x-4)=2x\] the annoying part is the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\) we can get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 3

Answer 24

Okay so 2x would be 6x....

Answer 25

that will get rid of the fraction
\[3\times \frac{2}{3}(x-4)=3\times 2x\\
2(x-4)=6x\]

Answer 26

Won't let me post picture

Answer 27

then it should be more or less routine
distribute first get
\[2x-8=6x\]

Answer 28

subtract \(2x\) from both sides to get
\[-8=4x\]

Answer 29

I got the answer

Answer 30

then divide both sides by \(4\)

Answer 31

X= -3

Answer 32

You did it wrong ......

Answer 33

actually no it is not \(-3\)

Answer 34

yes it is
