Hi,

%282%2F3%29%282x-1%29%2B3+=+4%282x-4%29    |Multiplying thru by 3 so as all denominators = 1

 2(2x-1) + 9 = 12(2x-4)

 4x -2 + 9 = 24x - 48

    55 = 20x

    55/20 = x = 11/4

CHECKING our answer***

%282%2F3%29%289%2F2%29%2B3+=++3+%2B+3+=+6+=+4%2811%2F2-4%29+=+4%283%2F2%29+=+6 

Wish You the Best in your Studies.

4/3x-2/3+3=8x-16
4/3x-8x=-16+2/3-3
-20/3x=-18 1/3
-20/3x=-55/3
x=-55/3+20/3
x=-35/3
x=-11 2/3
