x=−8

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4x + 8 = 3x - 10 \), we can start by isolating \( x \).

1. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides: \[ 4x - 3x + 8 = -10 \] which simplifies to: \[ x + 8 = -10 \]

2. Next, subtract 8 from both sides: \[ x = -10 - 8 \] which simplifies to: \[ x = -18 \]

Thus, the solution for \( x \) is \(-18\).

The correct response is: x = −18 (x equals negative 18)
