I'm assuming you want to solve for y?


y%2B4=%282%2F3%29%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation.


y%2B4=%282%2F3%29x-%282%2F3%292 Distribute


y%2B4=%282%2F3%29x-4%2F3 Multiply


y=%282%2F3%29x-4%2F3-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


y=%282%2F3%29x-4%2F3-12%2F3 Multiply the last term by 3%2F3


y=%282%2F3%29x-16%2F3 Combine like terms.


So after solving for 'y', we get y=%282%2F3%29x-16%2F3
