2%2F3%2836x-6%29=68.........both sides multiply by 3
3%282%2F3%29%2836x-6%29=3%2A68.........
cross%283%29%282%2Fcross%283%29%29%2836x-6%29=+204.........
2%2836x-6%29=+204.........divide both sides by 2
2%2F2%2836x-6%29=+204%2F2.........
36x-6=+102.........
36x=+102%2B6.........
36x=+108.........
x=+108%2F36.........
x=+3.........

check:
2%2F3%2836%2A3-6%29=68.........
2%2F3%28108-6%29=68.........
2%2F3%28102%29=68.........
0.6666%28102%29=68.........
67.9932=68.........
68+=68.........
