x = -6

x = 54

x = 6

Answer 1

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

1. Add 8 to both sides of the equation: \[ -3x = 10 + 8 \] \[ -3x = 18 \]

2. Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{18}{-3} \] \[ x = -6 \]

So, the solution is \(x = -6\).

The correct response is: x = -6.
