-4/3x + 2 = 10

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with -4/3x + 2 = 10, we can begin by subtracting 2 from both sides:

-4/3x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

This simplifies to:

-4/3x = 8

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -3 to eliminate the fraction:

-3 * (-4/3x) = -3 * 8

This simplifies to:

4x = -24

Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

4x/4 = -24/4

x = -6

Therefore, the solution to the equation -4/3x + 2 = 10 is x = -6.
