Solve for x .

−4/3 x+2=10 (1 point)

1 answer

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

We can start by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:

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

This simplifies to:

-4/3 x = 8

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of -4/3, which is -3/4:

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

This simplifies to:

x = -24/4

And further simplified to:

x = -6

Therefore, the solution is x = -6.
