Set up the equation and solve for x:

2/3(x) - 6 = -10 (next add 6 to each side to separate knowns from unknowns)

2/3(x) = -4 (next multiply both sides by 3 to simplify)

2x = -12 (next divide both sides by 2 to solve for x)

x = -6

to prove: substitute x with -6 (hint: 2/3 of -6 = -4)

2/3(-6) - 6 = -10

-4 - 6 = -10

-10 = -10

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
