Solve for − 4/3x + 2 = 10

x =

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-\frac{4}{3}x + 2 = 10\), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with \(x\):

\[ -\frac{4}{3}x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -\frac{4}{3}x = 8 \]

  1. Now, multiply both sides by \(-\frac{3}{4}\) to solve for \(x\):

\[ x = 8 \cdot -\frac{3}{4} \]

  1. Calculate the right side:

\[ x = -\frac{24}{4} = -6 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ x = -6 \]
