Solve for x: two thirds(x − 2) = 4x. x = negative two fifths x = negative five halves x = two fifths x = −2

x=-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st: write equation

                                 2/3(x -2) = 4x

2nd: multiply 3 on both sides

                                 2(x - 2) = 12x

3rd: multipy

                                 2x - 4  = 12x

4th:subtract 2x on both sides

                                 -4 = 12x - 2x

5th:simplify

                                -4 = 10x

6th:divided 10 on both sides

                                 x = -4 / 10

7th:simplify

                                 x = -2/5

The answer to your question is  x = -(2/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

                                  2/3(x -2) = 4x

                                  2(x - 2) = 12x

                                  2x - 4  = 12x

                                  -4 = 12x - 2x

                                 -4 = 10x

                                  x = -4 / 10

                                  x = -2/5
