To solve the equation \((\frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{5}) \cdot 15 = 8\), follow these steps:
Distribute the 15 to both terms inside the parentheses: \[ 15 \cdot \frac{2}{3}x - 15 \cdot \frac{4}{5} = 8 \]
Calculate \(15 \cdot \frac{2}{3}\): \[ 15 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = 5 \cdot 2 = 10 \]
Calculate \(15 \cdot \frac{4}{5}\): \[ 15 \cdot \frac{4}{5} = 3 \cdot 4 = 12 \]
Substitute these results back into the equation: \[ 10x - 12 = 8 \]
Add 12 to both sides: \[ 10x = 8 + 12 \] \[ 10x = 20 \]
Divide both sides by 10: \[ x = \frac{20}{10} = 2 \]
Therefore, the solution is \(x = 2\).
