Fill in the Blank

A quality control technician at a manufacturing company uses absolute value inequalities to monitor equipment calibration. The acceptable deviation for a temperature sensor is defined by the absolute value inequality 3x42|3x - 4| \geq 2, where xx represents the normalized temperature deviation. To find the sensor values that are out of tolerance, the technician rewrites the inequality as the compound inequality 3x42{}3x - 4 \leq -2 or 3x42{}3x - 4 \geq 2. By solving the first inequality, the technician finds that the lower out-of-tolerance boundary is xx \leq ____ (Write your answer as a simplified fraction, e.g., 2/3).
