Question

Responses

x − 10 = 2
x minus 10 equals 2

x − 8 = 0
x minus 8 equals 0

x + 3 = −11
x plus 3 equals negative 11

x − 4 = −12
x minus 4 equals negative 12

Answer 1

To find out which equation has a solution of -8, we can simply substitute -8 for x and solve for each equation.

1. x - 10 = 2
Substituting -8 for x: -8 - 10 = 2
-18 = 2
This equation does not have a solution of -8.

2. x - 8 = 0
Substituting -8 for x: -8 - 8 = 0
-16 = 0
This equation does not have a solution of -8.

3. x + 3 = -11
Substituting -8 for x: -8 + 3 = -11
-5 = -11
This equation does not have a solution of -8.

4. x - 4 = -12
Substituting -8 for x: -8 - 4 = -12
-12 = -12
This equation has a solution of -8.

Therefore, the equation "x - 4 = -12" has a solution of -8.
