Responses

x − 10 = 2
x minus 10 equals 2

x − 4 = −12
x minus 4 equals negative 12

x + 3 = −11

x − 8 = 0

1 answer

To determine which equation has a solution of \( x = -8 \), let's solve each equation individually:

  1. Equation: \( x - 10 = 2 \)
    Solution:
    \( x - 10 = 2 \)
    \( x = 2 + 10 \)
    \( x = 12 \)

  2. Equation: \( x - 4 = -12 \)
    Solution:
    \( x - 4 = -12 \)
    \( x = -12 + 4 \)
    \( x = -8 \)

  3. Equation: \( x + 3 = -11 \)
    Solution:
    \( x + 3 = -11 \)
    \( x = -11 - 3 \)
    \( x = -14 \)

  4. Equation: \( x - 8 = 0 \)
    Solution:
    \( x - 8 = 0 \)
    \( x = 8 \)

From the calculations, we can see that the equation that has a solution of \( x = -8 \) is:

\( x - 4 = -12 \).
