8-2x=10

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 8 - 2x = 10 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

\[ 8 - 2x - 8 = 10 - 8 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -2x = 2 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by -2:

\[ x = \frac{2}{-2} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -1 \]

So the solution is \( x = -1 \).
