#x=-1/16#

Explanation:

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

If we multiply everything (on both sides) by#6# 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#
