Can you solve the equation 2/3 (4x-5) = 8 by using the division property of equality?

2/3 (4x - 5) = 8 ... divide both sides by 2/3, eliminating the 2/3 on the left

4x - 5 = 8 / (2/3)

4x - 5 = 8 * 3/2 ... dividing with fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply

4x - 5 = 12 ... add 5 to both sides, eliminating the 5 on the left

4x = 12 + 5

4x = 17 ... divide both sides by 4

x = 17/4 or 4 1/4
