Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation -3x - 8 = 10, we can add 8 to both sides to get rid of the -8.

This gives us -3x = 18.

Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x.

x = 18 / -3.

Simplifying, we get x = -6.

Therefore, the solution is x = -6.
