x=3

Answer 1

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

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

2. Next, subtract \( 8 \) from both sides: \[ x = -10 - 8 \] Thus, we find: \[ x = -18 \]

The solution is \( x = -18 \).

So the answer is: x=−18 or x equals negative 18.
