x=15

x=12

x=22

x=26

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can start by adding 2 to both sides:

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

This simplifies to:

4/3x = 20

Next, we can multiply both sides by 3/4 to isolate x:

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

The 3/4 terms cancel out on the left side, leaving:

x = 15

So the correct answer is x = 15.
