Solve -3(x+2)=-10

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

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3} \approx 1.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x+2=\frac{-10}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{-10}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{10}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x+2=\frac{10}{3}$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{10}{3}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{6}{3}.

$$x=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{6}{3}$$

Since \frac{10}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{10-6}{3}$$

Subtract 6 from 10 to get 4.

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