To solve for x, we will first simplify the equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator of the fraction (-3).
-4/3x + 2 = 10
Multiply by -3:
-3 * (-4/3x + 2) = -3 * 10
12x - 6 = -30
Next, we will isolate the variable x by moving the constant term (-6) to the right side of the equation:
12x = -30 + 6
12x = -24
Divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x:
x = -24/12
Simplifying the fraction:
x = -2
Therefore, the solution to the equation -4/3x + 2 = 10 is x = -2.
-4/3x+2=10

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly.
-4/3x + 2 = 10
Let's start by isolating the variable by subtracting 2 from both sides:
-4/3x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2
-4/3x = 8
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply through by the reciprocal of -4/3, which is -3/4:
(-3/4)(-4/3x) = (-3/4)(8)
x = -24/4
Simplifying the fraction:
x = -6
Therefore, the solution to the equation -4/3x + 2 = 10 is x = -6.
-4/3x + 2 = 10
Let's start by isolating the variable by subtracting 2 from both sides:
-4/3x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2
-4/3x = 8
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply through by the reciprocal of -4/3, which is -3/4:
(-3/4)(-4/3x) = (-3/4)(8)
x = -24/4
Simplifying the fraction:
x = -6
Therefore, the solution to the equation -4/3x + 2 = 10 is x = -6.
