2-2/3x = 4/5x

The common denominator of 3x and 5x is 15x so multiply all terms by 15x in order to eliminate the fractions:

30x-10 = 12

30x = 22

Divide both sides by 30 in order to find the value of x:

x = 22/30 = 11/15 in its lowest terms

Substituting the value of x into the original equation: 12/11 = 12/11

Therefore the solution is correct
