Solve for x. 2/3(x - 7) = -2
2/3x -14/3 = -2 -foiled2/3x = -6/3 +14/3 -common denominator2/3x = 8/3x = 8/3 * 3/2 x = 24/6 x= 4
First you distribute 2/3 into parenthesis, then simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by the common denominator 3. then reduce with 3,3, then multiply. move constant to the right side change its sign. Then find the sum x = 4
