$\frac{2}{3} (x - 12)$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$\frac{2}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 12$

Step 2

Combine $\frac{2}{3}$ and $x$ .

$\frac{2 x}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 12$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Step 3.1

Factor $3$ out of $- 12$ .

$\frac{2 x}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot (3 (- 4))$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot (3 \cdot - 4)$

Step 3.3

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{2 x}{3} + 2 \cdot - 4$

$\frac{2 x}{3} + 2 \cdot - 4$

Step 4

Multiply $2$ by $- 4$ .

$\frac{2 x}{3} - 8$
