Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-2+4(-x+4)=10\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-2+(4)(-x)+(4)(4)=10\\\\-2-4x+16=10\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-4x+(-2+16)=10\\\\-4x+14=10\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-4x+14-14=10-14\\\\-4x=-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}\\\\x=1[/tex]
