Responses

x − 8 = 0
x minus 8 equals 0

x + 3 = −11
x plus 3 equals negative 11

x − 10 = 2
x minus 10 equals 2

x − 4 = −12

1 answer

To determine which equation has a solution of \( -8 \), we can solve each equation for \( x \) and see if any of them equal \( -8 \).

  1. Equation: \( x - 8 = 0 \)

    • Solution: \( x = 8 \)

  2. Equation: \( x + 3 = -11 \)

    • Solution: \( x = -11 - 3 = -14 \)

  3. Equation: \( x - 10 = 2 \)

    • Solution: \( x = 2 + 10 = 12 \)

  4. Equation: \( x - 4 = -12 \)

    • Solution: \( x = -12 + 4 = -8 \)

From the calculations, the equation \( x - 4 = -12 \) has a solution of \( -8 \).
