2/3(x - 2) = 4x....distribute thru the parenthesis
2/3x - 4/3 = 4x...subtract 2/3x from both sides
-4/3 = 4x - 2/3x
-4/3 = 12/3x - 2/3x
-4/3 = 10/3x
-4/3 * 3/10 = x
-12/30 = x
- 2/5 = x <==

4x=2/3(x - 2)
4x=2/3x - 4/3 
 4x - 2/3x=4/3
 4x - 2/3x=-4/3 
10/3x=-4/3
x=-4/3 * 3/10 

x=-12/30 
x=- 2/5 
hope this helps
