Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation -3x - 8 = 10, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Adding 8 to both sides of the equation:
-3x - 8 + 8 = 10 + 8
-3x = 18

Dividing both sides of the equation by -3:
-3x/-3 = 18/-3
x = -6

Therefore, the correct answer is B) -6.

Answer 2

To solve the equation -3x - 8 = 10, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here are the steps to solve it:

Step 1: Start by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
-3x - 8 - 8 = 10 - 8
-3x = 2

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
-3x / -3 = 2 / -3
x = -2/3

So, the correct answer is x = -2/3.

Note: None of the given responses (A, B, C, D) match the correct answer.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve the equation -3x - 8 = 10, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's get rid of the constant term (-8) on the left side by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

-3x - 8 + 8 = 10 + 8

This simplifies to:

-3x = 18

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:

(-3x) / -3 = 18 / -3

This gives us:

x = -6

Therefore, the correct answer is B) -6.
