Find the solution to 4−2x=10

Question

A. 3
B. 2
C. -7
D. -3

Answer 1

To solve the equation 4-2x=10, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

4 - 2x - 4 = 10 - 4

This simplifies to:

-2x = 6

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x:

-2x/(-2) = 6/(-2)

This simplifies to:

x = -3

The solution to the equation 4-2x=10 is x = -3.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. -3.
