Answer:

x= -4

Explanation:

9+ 1/4x -10= -2

You can either add the +9 and -10 or take each of them to the right hand side individually. I will add them and simplify first.

+9 -10= -1

We are left with,

1/4x -1= -2

Now take the -1 to the right hand side. Then,

-2 +1= -1

We are left with,

1/4x= -1

To find 'x' finally, you need to remove the fraction 1/4. In order to do that, you can multiply 1/4 by which will remove the 4 at the bottom. REMEMBER TO MULTIPLY THE RIGHT HAND SIDE ALSO BY 4.

1/4x ×4 = -1 ×4

-1×4=-4

Therefore,

x=-4
