2x/5 =4+2/3
the denominator has to be removed
first multiply by 3
6x/5 = 12+2
6x/5 =14
multiply by 5
6x=70
x= 70/6
x=11.66

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The answer  ' 11.66 '  in the post by @mananth is incorrect.

The correct answer is   70%2F6 = 114%2F6 = 112%2F3,

which is not  11.66,  as @mananth mistakenly states.

Exactly as written, 2x/5 = 4+2/3
2x%2F5+=+4%2B2%2F3

5%2A3%282x%2F5%29=5%2A3%2A%284%2B2%2F3%29
6x=60%2B10
6x=70
x=70%2F6
highlight%28x=35%2F3%29
