The given equation is:

[tex]6(x-2)=4[/tex]

It is required to solve for x.

Distribute 6 into the expression in parentheses:

[tex]6x-12=4[/tex]

Add 12 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x-12+12=4+12 \\ \Rightarrow6x=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6x}{6}=\frac{16}{6} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{8}{3}=2\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is 3) x=2 2/3.

The correct option is 3.
