To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
x - 2 = 8
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 10
So, the solution is x = 10, which corresponds to option B.
Solve for x.
x − 2 = 8
A. x=−16
B. x=10
C. x=−4
D. x=6

Wrong, it's A.
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's check if option A is indeed the correct answer by plugging it back into the equation:
If x = -16, then the equation becomes:
-16 - 2 = 8
-18 ≠ 8
Therefore, option A is incorrect. The correct solution is x = 10. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
