Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

what do you need help with???

Answer 3

Just distribute it.

Answer 4

two thirds (x - 2) = 4x

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }(x-2)=4x\]Is this your equation?

Answer 6

2/3(x - 2)

2/3 * x = ?

2/3 * -2 = ?

Answer 7

what 3mar said

Answer 8

2/3 (x - 2) = 4x

Answer 9

Ok. I am correct.
Let's solve.

Answer 10

how

Answer 11

do i times the 3 * x?

Answer 12

Let's distribute and simplify.
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }(x-2)=\]
multiply the fraction \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]by \[(x-2)\]
we get:

Answer 13

2/3*

Answer 14

It's 2/3 * x

And you just put the variable next to 2/3.

Answer 15

What about 2/3 * -2, can you multiply that?

Answer 16

um hold on let me use calculator

Answer 17

-1.333333333333333

Answer 18

Just multiply -2 to the numerator, 2 and keep the denominator the same.

What do you get?

Answer 19

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

Answer 20

what do 3mar do

Answer 21

and i got hold on

Answer 22

-4/6

Answer 23

Thats what i got do i simplify

Answer 24

-4 is correct..but you don't multiply it to the denominator.

Answer 25

omg so whats the answer -4/3

Answer 26

So we have:

2/3x - 4/3 = 4x

Now subtract 2/3x to both sides, can you do that?

Answer 27

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x-\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }=4x\]
Coolect all x in one side
\[4x-\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x=-\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]
subtract:
\[4-\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 10 }{ 3 }\]
then
\[\frac{ 10 }{ 3 }x=-\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]
so
\[x=\frac{ -4 }{10 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }=0.4\]

Answer 28

Hope that helps

Answer 40

\[4-\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=???\]

Answer 41

what are coefficieants i forgot ?

Answer 42

so 4*3 = 12-2 and we get 10?
