Solve for x : 4x+8=3x−10 .(1 point)

1 answer

To solve for x, first we need to get all the x terms on one side of the equation and all the constant terms on the other side.

Starting with 4x + 8 = 3x - 10, we can subtract 3x from both sides to get rid of the x term on the right side of the equation:

4x + 8 - 3x = 3x - 3x - 10
x + 8 = -10

Next, we subtract 8 from both sides to isolate x:

x + 8 - 8 = -10 - 8
x = -18

Therefore, x = -18.
