x=−8

Answer 1

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

1. Isolate the variable \( x \):

Start by subtracting \( 3x \) from both sides:

\[
4x - 3x + 8 = -10
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x + 8 = -10
\]

2. Next, subtract 8 from both sides to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = -10 - 8
\]

Thus,

\[
x = -18
\]

Therefore, the solution is:

\( \boxed{x = -18} \)
