Question

1/3 ( x - 10) = -4 ???​

Answer 1

`x = - 2`

Explanation:

1) Simplify 1/3 ( x - 10) to x-10/3.

`(x - 10)/(3) = - 4`

2) Multiply both sides by 3.

`x - 10 = - 4 * 3`

Simplify 4 × 3 to 12.

`x - 10 = - 12`

4) Add 10 to both sides.

`x = - 12 + 10`

5) Simplify -12 + 10 to -2.

`x = - 2`

So, therefor, the answer is, x = -2.
