Solve +2=-3(x-4)

$$+ 2 = - 3 ( x - 4 )$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{10}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} \approx 3.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -3.

$$-\frac{2}{3}=x-4$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x-4=-\frac{2}{3}$$

Add 4 to both sides.

$$x=-\frac{2}{3}+4$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$x=-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$$

Since -\frac{2}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-2+12}{3}$$

Add -2 and 12 to get 10.

$$x=\frac{10}{3}$$
