Question

solve for x.
-4 = \frac{3x - 2}{2}
simplify your answer as much as possible.
x =

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 2

$-4\times2=\frac{3x - 2}{2}\times2$
$-8 = 3x-2$

Step2: Add 2 to both sides

$-8 + 2=3x-2 + 2$
$-6 = 3x$

Step3: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{-6}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}$
$x=-2$

Answer:

$x = - 2$
