2/3*n-4 = 2*n

subtract 2/3 n from each side

-4 = 2n - 2/3 n

-4 = 6/3 n - 2/3 n

-4 = 4/3 n

multiply by 3/4 on each side

-4 * 3/4 = n

-3 = n

The number is -3

Answer:

n = -3


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.  Then (2/3)n-4 = 2n.

Solve for n.  To accomplish this, start by mult. both sides by 3, to remove the fractional coefficient:  2n - 12 = 6 n, or -12 = 4n.  then n = -3 (answer)

Answer:

x= 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify so you can isolate x quicker: 2x-5=5x-6

subtract 2x from both sides: -5=3x-6

add 6 to both sides: 1=3x

divide both side by the 3 to isolate x: 1/3=x
