Evaluating the fraction (by long division, say) would give 0.6666666..., but that's probably more than you need to know at the moment. It could specify a division, which would have quotient 0 and remainder 4. Thanks from Basko

Just how many times were you planning to ask this question in different threads?

2/3 times of course!

For example, I would take 3x and subtract it from 4x, which is 1x. Then subtract 5 from 6, which is 1. So your answer would be 1x =1 or (x=1). Hope this helps Basko.

Hi. Speaking technically, we do the subtractions first (i.e., get variable terms on one side only, with all constants on the other side). We combine like-terms after that.
