Question

Solve for x: 2/3 (x - 4) = 2x.

Answer 1

x should equal -2

Answer 2

Could you explain how you got that?

Answer 3

(2/3)*(x-4) = 2*x // - 2*x

(2/3)*(x-4)-(2*x) = 0

(2/3)*(x-4)-2*x = 0

2/3*(x-4)-2*x = 0

2/3*(x-4)-2*x = 0

-4/3*x-8/3 = 0

-4/3*x-8/3 = 0

-4/3*x-8/3 = 0 // + 8/3

-4/3*x = 8/3 // : -4/3

x = 8/3/(-4/3)

x = -2

x = -2
