The equation is ambiguous. Assuming it is 2/3 * (36x-6):
2/3(36x - 6) = 68
4(6x - 1) = 68
6x - 1 = 17
6x = 18
x = 3

X=3
3/2 x 68=102
102+6=108
108/36=3

To solve the equation, first of all get rid of the denominator. Multiply throughout by 3.
2/3(36x-6) = 68
3*2/3(36x-6) = 68*3
or 2(36x-6) = 204
now divide throughout by 2
36x-6 = 204/2 = 102
or 36x = 102 + 6 = 108
now divide by 36
x = 3

2/3(36x - 6) = 68 (x 3/2)
(36x - 6) = 68(3/2)
36x - 6 = 102
36x = 102 + 6
36x = 108
x = 108 / 36
x = 3

2 / 3 ( 36x - 6 ) = 68
2 (36x - 6) = 68 * 3
36x - 6=204/2
36x = 102 + 6
x = 108/36
x = 3

2/3 (36x-6)=68
2/3 * 6 (6x-1) = 68
4 (6x-1) = 68
24x - 4 = 68
24x=68+4
24x=72
x=72/24
x=3

solving for x
2(36x-6)/3=68 multiply ( ) by 2
(72x-12)/3=68 now divide ( ) by 3
24x-4=68 add the 4 to each side
24x=72 divide 24 to each side and reduce
x=3

x = 3. Multipy it out first. 24x -4 = 68. Add 4 to both sides and you get 24x = 72. Divide each side by 24 and x is equal to 3.
