Question

Solve the equation: (again, watch your negative signs) 1/3 (x - 10) = -4
pls help me!...​

Answer 1

x = -22

Explanation:

first you distribute the 1/3 to x and -10 and get

1/3x - 10/3 = -4

then add -10/3 to both sides and get

1/3x = -22/3

then divide both sides by 1/3 and get

x = -66/3

(-66/3 simplified is -22)

hope this helped lol
