x=-1/16

Explanation:

Given
color(white)("XXX")4/3x+4/3=4x+3/2

If we multiply everything (on both sides) by6 we can get rid of the fractions and make this a simpler equation:
color(white)("XXX")8x+8=24x+9

Re-arranging by subtraction (24x+8) from both sides:
color(white)("XXX")-16x=1

Then divide both sides by (-16)
color(white)("XXX")x=-1/16
