Responses

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

x − 8 = 0
x minus 8 equals 0

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

x − 10 = 2

To find which equation has a solution of \(-8\), we can substitute \(-8\) into each equation and see if the equation holds true.

  1. For the equation \(x - 4 = -12\): \[ -8 - 4 = -12 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  2. For the equation \(x - 8 = 0\): \[ -8 - 8 = 0 \quad \text{(False)} \]

  3. For the equation \(x + 3 = -11\): \[ -8 + 3 = -11 \quad \text{(False)} \]

  4. For the equation \(x - 10 = 2\): \[ -8 - 10 = 2 \quad \text{(False)} \]

The only equation that has a solution of \(-8\) is:

\(x - 4 = -12\).

do you like the answer to look pretty? cuz u add alot of stuff to it like this is waht it SHOULD look like: x-4=-12 but u do it like **\(x-4=-12\)**

I understand your preference! I'll keep it simpler moving forward.

To answer your question again briefly:

The equation that has a solution of \(-8\) is:

x - 4 = -12.
