Question

How do i solve -3x-(-2)=(-10)

Answer 1

Explanation:

`-3x - (-2) = (-10)`

First, let's remove the parentheses and distribute any minus signs that are present outside of the parentheses:

`-3x + 2 = -10`

Next, let's subtract
`2` from both sides to isolate the terms with an
`x` on the left-hand side of the equation:

`-3x + 2 - 2 = -10 - 2`

`-3x = -12`

Finally, let's divide both sides by
`-3` to get the
`x` by itself on the left-hand side of the equation:

`(-3x)/(-3) = (-12)/(-3)`

`x = 4`

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

-3x -(-2) = (-10)

First open the bracket

-3x + 2 = -10

Next is to subtract 2 from both-side of the equation

-3x + 2 - 2 = -10 - 2

-3x = -12

Then divide both-side of the equation by -3 to get the value of x

`(-3x)/(-3)` =
`(-12)/(-3)`

(On the left-hand side of the equation -3 at the numerator will cancel out -3 at the denominator while on the right-hand side of the equation -12 will be divided by -3)

x =
`(-12)/(-3)`

x = 4
