To find an equivalent expression to 2/3(4x - 9), you can distribute the 2/3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
2/3(4x - 9) = (2/3) * 4x - (2/3) * 9
This can be simplified further:
(2/3) * 4x = (8/3)x
(2/3) * 9 = 6
So, the equivalent expression is:
(8/3)x - 6
To find an expression equivalent to 2/3(4x - 9), you can start by multiplying each term inside the parentheses by 2/3.
First, multiply 2/3 by 4x:
(2/3) * (4x) = (8/3)x
Next, multiply 2/3 by -9:
(2/3) * (-9) = (-18/3) = -6
Combining these results, the equivalent expression is:
(8/3)x - 6
