(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-43x + 2 = 10\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ -43x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ -43x = 8 \]

2. Divide both sides by -43: \[ x = \frac{8}{-43} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -\frac{8}{43} \]

So, the solution is: \[ x = -\frac{8}{43} \]
