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

Starting with the equation: -10 - 2x = -8

First, we can add 10 to both sides to get rid of the -10 on the left side: -10 + 10 - 2x = -8 + 10

Simplifying, we have: -2x = 2

To isolate x, we can divide both sides by -2: (-2x)/(-2) = 2/(-2)

Simplifying further, we get: x = -1

Therefore, x equals -1.
