To solve for x, we will first need to distribute the -4 on the left side of the equation:
-4(3x + 10) - 2 = 54
-12x - 40 - 2 = 54
-12x - 42 = 54
Now we will add 42 to both sides to isolate the variable:
-12x = 96
Finally, we will divide by -12 to solve for x:
x = -96 / 12
x = -8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -8.
Solve for X
-4 (3x + 10) - 2 = 54
