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
