To solve the equation \(-8 + 3x = 10\), follow these steps:
-
Add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[ -8 + 3x + 8 = 10 + 8 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 3x = 18 \]
-
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:
\[ x = 6 \]
