Question

How would you work this out?
2/3x = -2/3x +4

I haven't worked with fractions (this way) before, so I'm not sure how to do it.

Answer 1

Are we isolating x?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Ok we we want x's on one side and numbers without the x on another
Start by adding 2/3's to both sides
2/3x+2/3x=-2/3x+2/3+4

Answer 4

hint:
if I add \((2/3)x\) to both sides, I can write:
\[\frac{2}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}x = - \frac{2}{3}x + 4 + \frac{2}{3}x\]
