Solve for x.
−43x + 2 = 10
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, let's add 43x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -43x:
-43x + 43x + 2 = 10 + 43x
2 = 10 + 43x
Now, subtract 10 from both sides:
2 - 10 = 10 + 43x - 10
-8 = 43x
Finally, divide by 43 to solve for x:
-8/43 = x
Therefore, the solution is:
x = -8/43
no wait the -43 is a fraction (-4/3)
I apologize for the oversight. Let's solve this with the fraction -4/3 instead of -43.
Given equation: -4/3x + 2 = 10
First, let's subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the variable term:
-4/3x = 8
Next, multiply by the reciprocal of -4/3, which is -3/4:
x = 8 * (-3/4)
x = -24/4
x = -6
Therefore, the solution is:
x = -6
