To solve the equation \( 4x + 8 = 3x - 10 \), follow these steps:
-
Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides to get: \[ 4x - 3x + 8 = -10 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x + 8 = -10 \]
-
Subtract \( 8 \) from both sides: \[ x = -10 - 8 \] This results in: \[ x = -18 \]
So, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-18} \]
