Question

Solve the following equation for x 10=2-4(ax-3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{a}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2-4(ax-3)=10\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\-4(ax-3)=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4(ax-3)}{-4}=\dfrac{8}{-4}\\\\ax-3=-2\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\ax-3+3=-2+3\\\\ax=1\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ a\neq0\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{a}$
