To solve the equation \( \frac{x^2}{3} - x = \frac{2x}{3} - x \), we can follow these steps:
- First, simplify both sides of the equation.
- Combine like terms.
Starting with the original equation:
\[ \frac{x^2}{3} - x = \frac{2x}{3} - x \]
Subtract \(-x\) from both sides:
\[ \frac{x^2}{3} - x + x = \frac{2x}{3} - x + x \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{x^2}{3} = \frac{2x}{3} \]
Now, multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fractions:
\[ x^2 = 2x \]
Next, move all terms to one side to set the equation to zero:
\[ x^2 - 2x = 0 \]
Now, factor the left side:
\[ x(x - 2) = 0 \]
Setting each factor to zero gives us the solutions:
- \( x = 0 \)
- \( x - 2 = 0 \) which gives \( x = 2 \)
Thus, the solutions to the equation \( \frac{x^2}{3} - x = \frac{2x}{3} - x \) are:
\[ \boxed{0 \text{ and } 2} \]
