Solve for x: 4x+8=3x−10

1 answer

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

First, let's combine like terms by subtracting 3x from both sides:

4x + 8 - 3x = -10

Simplifying the left side, we get:

x + 8 = -10

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides:

x + 8 - 8 = -10 - 8

Simplifying, we have:

x = -18

Therefore, x = -18.
