Solve 2= 2/3 (4x-12)

Evaluate

2 = \frac{2}{3} (4 x - 12)

Multiply the terms

More Steps

2 = \frac{8}{3} x - 8

Swap the sides of the equation

\frac{8}{3} x - 8 = 2

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

\frac{8}{3} x = 2 + 8

Add the numbers

\frac{8}{3} x = 10

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{8}{3} x \times \frac{3}{8} = 10 \times \frac{3}{8}

Multiply

x = 10 \times \frac{3}{8}
