Question 57511
4/3(3x-1)-2x=8/3 solve for x.

first thing we have to do to solve this question is to expand the terms in the brackets.

(4/3)(3x)-(4/3)(1)-2x=8/3
next we simplify the equation
4X-1.333-2x=8/3
2x-1.333=8/3

now we add 1.3333 to each side
2x=4

we divide out 2 to isolate X

x=2

in this equation x is 2.
