−3x−8=10

1 answer

To solve the equation −3x−8=10, we can start by isolating the variable term (−3x) on one side of the equation.

Adding 8 to both sides:
−3x−8+8=10+8
−3x=18

Then, we can divide both sides of the equation by −3 to solve for x:
−3x/−3=18/−3
x= -6

So, the solution to the equation −3x−8=10 is x = -6.
