To solve the expression \( \frac{2}{3}(-6 + 4) \), we first simplify the term inside the parentheses:
\[
-6 + 4 = -2
\]
Now substituting this back into the expression gives:
\[
\frac{2}{3}(-2)
\]
Next, we can multiply \( \frac{2}{3} \) by \(-2\):
\[
\frac{2}{3} \times -2 = \frac{2 \times -2}{3} = \frac{-4}{3}
\]
Thus, the value of the expression \( \frac{2}{3}(-6 + 4) \) is
\[
\boxed{-\frac{4}{3}}
\]
\[
-6 + 4 = -2
