solve for the equation for x.

4 - 2x = 10

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 4 - 2x = 10 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ 4 - 2x - 4 = 10 - 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2x = 6 \]

  2. Divide both sides by -2: \[ x = \frac{6}{-2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -3 \]

The solution is \( x = -3 \).
