Question

what is the solution to this equation?

4(x-8) + 10= -10

A. x=5
B. x=2
C. x=3
D. x= 4

Answer 1

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(x−8)+10=−10

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−8)+10=−10

(4)(x)+(4)(−8)+10=−10(Distribute)

4x+−32+10=−10

(4x)+(−32+10)=−10(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−22=−10

4x−22=−10

Step 2: Add 22 to both sides.

4x−22+22=−10+22

4x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x

4

x=3

Answer:

x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

4(x-8) + 10 = -10

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

x = 3.

So the correct answer is C.
