Question

Solve for x 2/3 (x - 2) = 4x​

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{2}{5} =x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} (x-2)=4x$

First, solve the brackets.

$\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{4}{3} =4x$

$\frac{2x-4}{3} =4x$

Now you can use cross multiplication.

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

$2x-4=3*4x$

$2x-4=12x$

Now take 2x to the other side.

$-4=12x-2x$

$-4=10x$

$\frac{-4}{10} =\frac{10x}{10}$

$\frac{-4}{10} =x$

Now let us make the fraction in it's simplest form.

For that divide both sides by 2.

$-\frac{2}{5} =x$
