Question

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

Answer 1

The value of x is -2

Solution:

Given equation is:

$\frac{1}{3}(x-10) = -4$

We have to solve the given equation

From given,

$\frac{1}{3}(x-10) = -4$

Solve so that "x" is in left side of equation and move the remaining terms to other side of equation

$x - 10 = -4 \times 3\\\\Simplify\\\\x - 10 = -12\\\\Isolate\ for\ x\\\\x = -12 + 10\\\\x = -2$

Thus the value of x is -2
