The answer is 2/3. option A

The given expression:

[tex]3x\text{ = 6x-2}[/tex]

First thing we'll do, is to collect like terms.

[tex]3x-6x\text{ = -2}[/tex]

Then we solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} -3x\text{ = -2 } \\ \text{divide both sides by -3} \\ \frac{-3x}{-3}=\text{ }\frac{-2}{-3} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is 2/3. option A
