Marina Sexton · Answer 1

B) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2x = 10

Subtract 4 from each side

4-4 - 2x = 10 - 4

-2x = 6

Divide by - 2

-2x/-2 = 6/-2

x = - 3

Giovanni Benitez · Answer 2

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the - 2x, which makes - 2x=6. Then to isolate the x, you divide by the negative 2 (negative because the subtract sign is before it.) to get x=-3
