Answer 2

Answer 3

(2/3)(x-4)=2x, solve for x, distribute 2/3, (2x-8)/3=2x, split the fraction, ((2x)/3)-(8/3)=2x, 8/3=2x-((2x)/3), 8/3=((6x)/3)-((2x)/3), 8/3=((4x)/3), 8=4x, x=2

Answer 4

That doesn't make since can you split it up?

Answer 5

2/3 = 0.6666......

Answer 6

is this how your equation looks?
\[2\div3(x-4)=2x\]

Answer 7

thats the equation yup

Answer 8

If you have one term in the denominator and two or more in the numerator separated by a plus or minus, you can split the fraction by keeping the denominator for both and separating the numerators into their own fractions with the sign that was between them between the fractions.

Answer 9

2
---(x-4) = 2x multiply both sides by 3 and will get
3

2(x-4)=6x do you can continue it from here ?

Answer 10

hi i like help you please collaborate

Answer 11

ok. ?

Answer 12

2(x-4)=6x next step divide both sides by 2 so what will get ?

Answer 13

2x -8 = 6x
-- --
2 2
x-8=3x? Confused again:/

Answer 14

no

there are

2(x-4)=6x and so divide both sides by 2

Answer 15

Okay brooke, stop right there, DO NOT DIVIDE 2

Answer 16

Use the distributive property first

2x - 8 = 6x

From there, subtract 2x from both sides to get

4x = -8

Divide both sides by 4 to get

x = -2

Answer 17

And there you go @brooke..help00 . got it?

Answer 18

Yes! Thank you I have a lot of question... an you help?

Answer 19

You guys are forgetting it was (2/3)(x-4)=2x, not (2(x-4))/3=2x, so you can't divide the 3 first.
