To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable.
Starting with the equation -10 - 2x = -8:
We can first add 10 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -10 on the left side:
-10 + 10 - 2x = -8 + 10
Simplifying, we have:
-2x = 2
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x:
(-2x)/-2 = 2/-2
This simplifies to:
x = -1
Therefore, the solution for x is -1.
solve for x
-10-2x=-8
