Answer:

x=-16

Explanation:

We are given with the equation


40=-(1)/(3) * (9x+30)+2

We are asked to solve it for x.

Distributing
(1)/(3) over bracket and simplifying


40=-((9x)/(3)+(30)/(3))+2


40=-(3x+10)+2


40=-3x-10+2


40=-3x-8

Adding 8 on both sides


48=-3x

Dividing both sides by -3


x=-16
