Answer 1

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. Next, subtract 8 from both sides: \[ x = -10 - 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -18 \]

So, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-18} \]

The correct response is \( x = -18 \) (x equals negative 18).
