Question

Solve the equation.
5x + 8 - 3x = -10
x = -1
x=1
x=9


​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-9

solution,

$5x + 8 - 3x = - 10 \\ or \: 5x - 3x + 8 = -10 \\ or \: 2x + 8 = -10 \\ or \: 2x = -10 - 8 \\ or \: 2x = -18\\ or \: x = \frac{-18}{2 } \\ x = -9$

hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 8 - 3x = -10

Rearrange.

5x - 3x + 8 = -10

Subtract like terms.

2x + 8 = -10

Subtract 8 on both sides.

2x = -10 - 8

2x = -18

Divide 2 into both sides.

x = -18/2

x = -9
