    4/7 = x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x

    Multiply each side by 3 to clear the fraction

    3 (6 - 2/3 (x+5)) = 4x*3

    Distribute

    18 - 2 (x+5) = 12x

    Distribute the 2

    18 - 2x-10 = 12x

    Combine like terms

    8 - 2x = 12x

    Add 2x to each side

    8-2x+2x = 12x+2x

    8 = 14x

    Divide by 14 on each side

    8/14 = 14x/14

    4/7 = x
