1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve for xx in the equation 43(x1)=4x103\frac{4}{3}(x-1) = 4x - \frac{10}{3}.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the 43\frac{4}{3} on the left side of the equation:
43x43=4x103\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{4}{3} = 4x - \frac{10}{3}
Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fractions:
3(43x43)=3(4x103)3(\frac{4}{3}x - \frac{4}{3}) = 3(4x - \frac{10}{3})
4x4=12x104x - 4 = 12x - 10
Now, subtract 4x4x from both sides:
4x44x=12x104x4x - 4 - 4x = 12x - 10 - 4x
4=8x10-4 = 8x - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
4+10=8x10+10-4 + 10 = 8x - 10 + 10
6=8x6 = 8x
Finally, divide both sides by 8 to solve for xx:
68=8x8\frac{6}{8} = \frac{8x}{8}
x=68x = \frac{6}{8}
Simplify the fraction:
x=34x = \frac{3}{4}

3. Final Answer

x=34x = \frac{3}{4}
