What is the solution to this equation?

4(x-8) + 10= -10

a. x=5
b. x=2
c. x=3
d. x= 4

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

=

12

4

x=3

x=3

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.

Hope this helps,

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
