Step 1.1

Move the limit inside the trig function because tangent is continuous.

$\frac{\tan (lim_{x \to 0} 2 x)}{3 x}$

Step 1.2

Move the term $2$ outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to $x$ .

$\frac{\tan (2 lim_{x \to 0} x)}{3 x}$

Step 2

Evaluate the limit of $x$ by plugging in $0$ for $x$ .

$\frac{\tan (2 \cdot 0)}{3 x}$
