Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for x, we can start by isolating the variable term by performing the necessary operations.

We can begin by adding 2 to both sides of the equation:

4/3x - 2 + 2 = 18 + 2

This simplifies to:

4/3x = 20

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the 3 in the denominator on the left side:

(4/3x)(3) = 20(3)

This simplifies to:

4x = 60

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:

(4x)/4 = 60/4

This simplifies to:

x = 15

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4/3x - 2 = 18 is x = 15.

To solve the equation 4/3x - 2 = 18, we'll follow these steps:

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing x.
4/3x - 2 + 2 = 18 + 2
4/3x = 20

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/4 to eliminate the fraction.
(4/3x) * (3/4) = 20 * (3/4)
x = 60/4
x = 15

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4/3x - 2 = 18 is x = 15.
