Answer:
• 2/3|2 -x| = 1/15
• |2 -x| = 1/10
• 1/5 +|4/3 -2/3x| = 4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with the given equation, subtract 1/5 = 3/15.
(2/3)|2 -x| = 4/15 - 3/15
(2/3)|2 -x| = 1/15 . . . . . . . . matches the first choice
Now, multiply by 3/2.
|2 -x| = 3/30
|2 -x| = 1/10 . . . . . . . . . . . . matches the third choice
___
If you decide to distribute the coefficient 2/3 instead, you have
1/5 + |2·2/3 -x·2/3| = 4/15
1/5 + |4/3 -2/3x| = 4/15 . . . . matches the selected choice
