To solve for x in the equation -3x - 8 = 10, you need to isolate the variable x.

Step 1: Add 8 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term -8 on the left side:
-3x - 8 + 8 = 10 + 8
-3x = 18

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
(-3x)/-3 = 18/-3
x = -6

Therefore, the solution for x is -6.

The correct answer is B. -6.
