Solve for x : 4x+8=3x−10 .(1 point) Responses x=−10 x equals negative 10 x=3 x equals 3 x=−18 x equals negative 18 x=−8

1 answer

To solve the equation \(4x + 8 = 3x - 10\), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract \(3x\) from both sides: \[ 4x - 3x + 8 = -10 \] This simplifies to: \[ x + 8 = -10 \]

  2. Subtract \(8\) from both sides: \[ x = -10 - 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -18 \]

So, the solution is \(x = -18\).

The correct response is:

  • x equals negative 18.
