Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's correct it.
The equation is 23(x-4) = -10.
To solve it, we can first simplify by distributing the 23:
23*x - 23*4 = -10
The equation becomes:
23x - 92 = -10
Next, we can isolate the variable by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation:
23x = -10 + 92
23x = 82
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 82/23
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 82/23.
