Solve for x . −10−2x=−8 (1 point) please

Answer 1

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

1. Add 10 to both sides of the equation: \[ -10 - 2x + 10 = -8 + 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2x = 2 \]

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

So the solution is: \[ x = -1 \]
