To solve the equation 2/3(x-6) = 14, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 to get rid of the fraction:

(3/2)*(2/3)(x-6) = (3/2)*14

Simplifying, we have:

(x-6) = (3/2)*14

(x-6) = 21

To solve for x, we can add 6 to both sides of the equation:

x = 21 + 6

x = 27

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 27.
