Solve for x: two thirds(x β 2) = 4x.
5 months ago
Q:
Solve for x: two thirds(x β 2) = 4x.
Accepted Solution
A:
(2/3)(x-2)=4x
Simplify the left side of the equation.
(2/3)x - (2/3)*2 = 4x
Simplify the second part of the left side.
(2/3)x - (4/3) = 4x
Subtract (2/3)x on each side.
-(4/3) = (10/3)x
Divide by (10/3) on each side.
-0.4 = x
