First, distribute the -4 to 3x and 10:
-4 * 3x = -12x
-4 * 10 = -40
So the equation becomes:
-12x - 40 - 2 = 54
Next, combine like terms:
-12x - 42 = 54
Add 42 to both sides:
-12x = 96
Divide by -12:
x = -8
Therefore, x = -8.
-4 * 3x = -12x
-4 * 10 = -40
So the equation becomes:
-12x - 40 - 2 = 54
Next, combine like terms:
-12x - 42 = 54
Add 42 to both sides:
-12x = 96
Divide by -12:
x = -8
Therefore, x = -8.
