Question 156853


{{{6-(2/3)x=-8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3(6-(2/cross(3))x)=3(-8)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{3}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{18-2x=-24}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{-2x=-24-18}}} Subtract {{{18}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x=-42}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-42)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=21}}} Reduce.
