Question

(1/3)( x - 10 ) = -4

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

1. Simplify:
   `(1)/(3)(x - 10) = -4`
2. Apply the distributed property, so it now looks like this: 1/3x - 10/3 = -4
3. Add 10/3 to each side, so it now looks like this: 1/3x = -2/3
4. Divide each side by 1/3 to cancel out the 1/3 next to x. It should now look like this: x = -2

I hope this helps!
