For this case we have the following equation:

\frac {1} {3} (x + 2) = \frac {2} {3} x + 4

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:

\frac {1} {3} x + \frac {2} {3} = \frac {2} {3} x + 4

Subtracting \frac {2} {3} x from both sides of the equation:

\frac {1} {3} x- \frac {2} {3} x + \frac {2} {3} = 4\\- \frac {1} {3} x + \frac {2} {3} = 4

Subtracting \frac {2} {3}from both sides of the equation:

- \frac {1} {3} x = 4- \frac {2} {3}\\- \frac {1} {3} x = \frac {12-2} {3}\\- \frac {1} {3} x = \frac {10} {3}

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

-x = \frac {10} {3} * 3\\-x = 10

We multiply by -1 on both sides of the equation:

x = -10

The solution of the equation is x = -10

ANswer:

x = -10
