REALLY URGENT ALGEBRA QUESTION: CAN'T WAIT!!!

Question

What is the solution to the equation -2x - 10 = 2/3(x+1)?

A. 4

B.2

C. -4

Answer 1

C. -4

-2X-10 = 2/3(X+1)

multiply both sides by 3 to remove fraction ( 3 * 2/3 = 2)

3 * (-2x-10) = 3 *( 2/3)(X+1)

-6X -30 = 2(X+1)

-6X -30 = 2X + 2

+6X -2 = +6X -2 add/subtract to combine like terms

-------------------------

-30-2 = 6X+2X

-32 = 8X

divide both sides by 8

-34/8 = X

-4 = X

flip order (communitive property) : X=-4
