The expression is not factorable with rational numbers
The range is how much it spans in f(x), f(x) is a line, it has no max/min, so it's enough to substitute the least and greatest values of your domain:
f(-2) = -5, f(4)=7,
Range = [-5,7]
With this problem, you have to do order of operations.
you do the multiplying first (the part in parenthesis)
(5 x 1/3) - (3 x 2/3)
5/3 - 6/3 = -1/3
Answer: x=8
