Solve for x.

-4/3x + 2 = 10

1 answer

To solve for x, first subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

-4/3x = 10 - 2

Simplifying the right side gives:

-4/3x = 8

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -4/3 to isolate x:

x = 8 / (-4/3)

Simplifying the right side further gives:

x = 8 * (-3/4)

Multiplying 8 by -3 and dividing the result by 4 gives the final solution:

x = -24/4

Simplifying the fraction -24/4 gives:

x = -6
