$- 4 \times ( \frac{2}{3} + 3x)$
Multiply each term in the parentheses, namely 2/3 and 3x, by the only term outside of the parentheses, -4.

Each of the resulting products becomes a new term in the addition.

$( - 4 \times \frac{2}{3} ) + ( - 4 \times 3x)$
$( - \frac{8}{3} ) + ( - 12x)$
$- \frac{8}{3} - 12x$
You may choose to keep the answer this way, or continue to change the improper fraction into a proper fraction. A lot of teachers also prefer to have the highest degree terms (terms that have variables with the highest powers) on the left.

$- 12x - 2 \frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For "a = b" it appears that the intention is b = f(a). It appears that f(a) is the number of letters in the spelling of 'a'.

"One" has 3 letters

"Two" has 3 letters

"Three" has 5 letters

"Four" has 4 letters

"Five" has 4 letters

"Six" has 3 letters

so, 6 = 3.

Additional comment

This appears to be a non-standard use of the equal sign, in which it has no relation to the usual meaning of "equals." Using standard symbols with non-standard meanings should generally be avoided, unless the intended meaning is explained.

Let the total distance from Madison house to her uncle is 1 unit

She travels 5/7th of the total distance on Saturday

Remaining distance = $1-\frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$
