    Simplify 4/5x4/5x.
    4x5+4/3=2x4x5+4/3=2xMove all terms containing xx to the left side of the equation.
    6x5+4/3=0-6x5+4/3=0Since 4/3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 4/3 from both sides.6x5=4/3-6x5=-4/3Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Set this equal to the product of thedenominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the second fraction.(−6x)⋅(3)=(5)⋅(−4)Solve the equation for x.
    Simplify the left side.
    −18x=(5)(−4)-18x=5⋅-4Simplify the right side.
    −18x=−20-18x=-20Divide each term by −18-18 and simplify.
    x=10/9
