answer: x = -8

work:

you're working to solve for x.

this means you want to isolate x, and get it alone.

to do so, divide both sides by 10 to get rid of the 10.

once you divide both sides by 10, x is on its own, and you have the solution to your equation, x = -8!

to check your work you can plug the value for x into the original equation and solve.

10(-8) = -80

-80 = -80

so we can verify this is in fact correct.


i hope this helps, and have a great day! don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this specific question! ♥ - eviezoom

10x = -80

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Divide 10 from both sides

10x/10 = -80/10

x = -80/10

x = -8

-8 is your answer for x
