4x=2/3(x - 2)
4x=2/3x - 4/3
4x - 2/3x=4/3
4x - 2/3x=-4/3
10/3x=-4/3
x=-4/3 * 3/10

x=-12/30
x=- 2/5
hope this helps

2/3(x - 2) = 4x....distribute thru the parenthesis
2/3x - 4/3 = 4x...subtract 2/3x from both sides
-4/3 = 4x - 2/3x
-4/3 = 12/3x - 2/3x
-4/3 = 10/3x
-4/3 * 3/10 = x
-12/30 = x
- 2/5 = x <==

Can someone help! I know the answer I just need step by step!

Answer:

$4 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 32 as the product of 16 and 2:

$\implies \sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16 \cdot 2$

Apply exponent rule $\sqrt{a \cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}$

$\implies \sqrt{16 \cdot 2}=\sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}$

Rewrite 16 as 4²:

$\implies \sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4^2}\sqrt{2}$

Apply exponent rule $\sqrt{a^2}=a$

$\implies \sqrt{4^2}\sqrt{2}=4 \sqrt{2}$
