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
