Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we can start by moving the -8 term to the other side of the equation by adding 8 to both sides:
-10 - 2x + 8 = -8 + 8
-2x -2 = 0
Next, we can simplify the equation by dividing both sides by -2:
-2x/ -2 - 2/ -2 = 0/ -2
x + 1 = 0
Finally, we can isolate x by subtracting 1 from both sides:
x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1
x = -1
Therefore, the solution to the equation -10 - 2x = -8 is x = -1.
