Do the diving and multiplying first always
so
(2/3)x 2 = (4/3)
add -4 (ie subtract 4)
= -8/3

You have not indicated the order of operations nor any parentheses here. So I have to assume the question looks like this -
2/3 * 2 + (-4) = ?
You do the multiplication and division first, so we get
4/3 - 4, which is -8/3, or -2 2/3.
Of course, there are other answers, depending on which calculations you do first, and if you meant 2/(3*2). But with this lack of clarity, this is the most logical answer.

2/3*2-4= -2 2/3
or
2/(3*2)-4= -3 2/3
or
2/(3*2-4)= 1
Can't tell from your question which you are trying to ask, but the first one would be correct if you have asked your question in a mathematically correct way.

if you mean the fraction 2/3, then -2
if you mean that 2 is over all of that...then 2/2 or 1

(2/3) x 2 + -4 = -2.6 repeating
Or if you need a fraction answer it's -8/3 (eight thirds)
