Answer: 0.8

Explanation:

Simplifying

10x + -8 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 10x = 0

Solving

-8 + 10x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 10x = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 10x = 0 + 8

10x = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8

10x = 8

Divide each side by '10'.

x = 0.8

Simplifying

x = 0.8
