Question

Solve 2 over 3 (x − 4) = 2x . I'm having trouble knowing what to do with the fraction.... I'll medal. Thanks!

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

if you hate the fraction, multiply both sides by 3 and start with \[2(x-4)=6x\]

Answer 3

If I multiplied by three why would it be 2(x-4) and not 3(x-4)

Answer 4

Answer 5

since your equation is like this:
\[\frac{2}{3} \cdot \left( {x - 4} \right) = 2x\]

Answer 6

If I multiply both sides by \(3\), I get:
\[\frac{2}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot \left( {x - 4} \right) = 2x \cdot 3\]

Answer 7

uhu

Answer 8

so, after a simplification, we can write:
\[2\left( {x - 4} \right) = 6x\]

Answer 9

Oh.....I get it now..Thank you!!
