To solve the equation \(4x + 8 = 3x - 10\), follow these steps:
-
Subtract \(3x\) from both sides: \[ 4x - 3x + 8 = -10 \] This simplifies to: \[ x + 8 = -10 \]
-
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.
