Question

Which of the following equations has a solution of −8 ? x-10=2? x-4=2? x+3=11? x-8=0?

Answer 1

None of the equations have a solution of -8.

For the first equation, we get:

x - 10 = 2

x = 12 (add 10 to both sides)

-------------------------------------------------------

For the second equation, we get:

x - 4 = 2

x = 6 (adding 4 to both sides)

-------------------------------------------------------

For the third equation, we get:

x + 3 = 11

x = 8 (subtracting 3 from both sides)

-------------------------------------------------------

For the fourth equation, we get:

x - 8 = 0

x = 8 (adding 8 to both sides)

So, none of the equations have a solution of x= -8.
