Question
Solve for x .
−43x+2=10 (1 point)
x=

-2

wrong

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly:

To solve for x, we will isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
-43x + 2 = 10

First, let's subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the right side:
-43x = 10 - 2
-43x = 8

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -43 to solve for x:
x = 8 / -43

Now, we can simplify the fraction:
x = -8/43

Therefore, the solution for x is -8/43.
