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.
-4/3x + 2 = 10
