    x = 3/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    -4 - 2/3x=-6

    Carina adds 4 to both sides (Step 1) given

    4-4 - 2/3x = - 6 + 4

    Solving

    -2/3x = - 2

    This could be the next step.

    Now adding 2 to both sides again (Step 2)

    2 - 2/3x = - 2 + 2

    Taking LCM (Step 3)

    2x-3/x=0

    Multiplying x on both sides (Step 4)

    2x-3 = 0

    Adding 3 to both sides (Step 5)

    2x-3 + 3 = 0+3

    2x = 3

    Dividing both sides by 2 (Step 6)

    2x/2 = 3/2

    Solving

    x = 3/2 = 1 1/2 or = 1.5
