−8+3x=10

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-8 + 3x = 10\), follow these steps:

  1. Add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(x\):

    \[ -8 + 3x + 8 = 10 + 8 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 3x = 18 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \(x\):

    \[ x = \frac{18}{3} \]

    Simplifying this gives:

    \[ x = 6 \]

So, the solution to the equation \(-8 + 3x = 10\) is:

\[ x = 6 \]
