%281%2F3%29%28x-4%29=%281%2F2%29%28x-6%29 ............multiply both sides by 6

(6)%281%2F3%29%28x-4%29=(6)%281%2F2%29%28x-6%29 ...................reduce

%282%29%28x-4%29=%283%29%28x-6%29 ............use the distributive property

2x-(2)(4)=3x-(3)(6)

2x-8=3x-18 ............subtract 2x from both sides

(2x-8)-2x=(3x-18)-2x

-8=x-18 .........................add 18 to both sides

-8+18=x-18+18
10=x
