Step 4.1

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{2}{3}$ into the numerator.

$\frac{- 2}{3} \cdot \frac{5 x}{6} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 3$

Step 4.2

Factor $2$ out of $- 2$ .

$\frac{2 (- 1)}{3} \cdot \frac{5 x}{6} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 3$

Step 4.3

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

Step 4.4

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 \cdot - 1}{3} \cdot \frac{5 x}{2 \cdot 3} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 3$

Step 4.5

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{- 1}{3} \cdot \frac{5 x}{3} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 3$

Step 5

Multiply $\frac{- 1}{3}$ by $\frac{5 x}{3}$ .

$\frac{- (5 x)}{3 \cdot 3} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot - 3$
