Hi there,

I'll solve your equation step-by-step.

4 − 3x
---------- =5
2


Step 1: Multiply both sides by 2.

4 − 3x
---------- =5
× (2) = (5) × (2)
2

4 - 3x =10

Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−3x + 4 = 10

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.3x + 4 − 4= 10 − 43x = 6

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

3x 6
------- = ------
−3 -3

x= -2

Answer:
x= -2

Hope this helps! Sorry this took a little long.
