olve for x. −10−2x=−8(1 point) Responses x=−1 x equals negative 1 x=1 x equals 1 x=4 x equals 4 x=9

Answer 1

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

1. First, isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -2x = -8 + 10 \] \[ -2x = 2 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by \(-2\): \[ x = \frac{2}{-2} \] \[ x = -1 \]

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

Therefore, the response is:

• x = -1
