Answer: x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation: We shall begin by expanding the brackets for both sides of the equation

-2/3 (x + 2) = 1/6 (x + 6)

(-2x/3) -4/3 = (x/6) + 1

By collecting like terms we now have

(-2x/3) - (x/6) = 1 + 4/3

(-4x - x)/6 = 7/3

-5x/6 = 7/3

By cross multiplication we now have

-5x (3) = 7 (6)

-15x = 42

x = -(42/15) {simplify further by dividing the RHS by 3}

x = -14/5

Therefore x equals, minus fourteen over five (-14/5)
