For this case we have the following expression:
[tex]2/3 (x-2) = 4x
[/tex]
We must follow the next steps to solve.
Pass the 3 multiplying:
[tex]2 (x-2) = 12x
[/tex]
Make distributive property on the left side of the equation:
[tex]2x - 4 = 12x
[/tex]
Place the variables on one side of the equation:
[tex]12x - 2x = - 4
10x = - 4[/tex]
Clear the value of x:
[tex]x = -4/10
x = -2/5[/tex]
Answer:
x = -2/5
