1 ÷ 4x + 10 = 2

From the BODMAS, we carry out the division first.

1/(4x) +10 =2

1/(4x) = 2 - 10

1/(4x) = - 8

Take the reciprocal of both sides

4x/1 = 1/-8

4x = -1/8

Divide both sides by x.

x = -1/8 * 1/4

x = - 1/32

Hope this explains it.

(x)/(4)+10=2

Subtract 10


(x)/(4)=-8

Multiply by 4

x = -32
