Correctly select the order of the steps to solve this equation.

Question

−8−3x=10

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-8 - 3x = 10\), you can follow these steps in order:

1. Add 8 to both sides:
   \(-3x = 10 + 8\)
   \(-3x = 18\)

2. Divide both sides by -3:
   \(x = \frac{18}{-3}\)
   \(x = -6\)

So the correct order of steps to solve the equation is:

1. Add 8 to both sides.
2. Divide by -3.

The solution is \(x = -6\).
