Question

Solve: 2/3 x - 4 = -2 A) -3 B) -4 C) -9 D) 3

Answer 1

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: First, isolate the x term by adding 4 to

both sides of the equation. We get 2/3x = 2.

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by the

reciprocal of 2/3 which is 3/2 to get x by itself.

So we have (3/2) 2/3x = 2 (3/2).

On the left, (3/2) 2/3 cancels and we have x.

On the right, the 2's cancel and we have 3.

So x = 3 is our answer.

Answer 2

D. x=3




2/3 x 3/1 = 6/3 or 2. 2-4= -2
