Question

Solve for x in the following equations: -8x -10y = -6 when y = 3

A) -3
B) -6
C) 4
D) -2

Answer 1

the answer is A -3

Explanation:

-8x-10y=-6 when y=3

-8x-10(3)=-6

-8x-30=-6

-8x=-6+30

-8x=24

-8x÷8=24÷8

x=-3

Answer 2

x = - 3

Explanation:

- 8x - 10(3) = - 6

- 8x - 30 = - 6

- 8x - 30 + 30 = - 6 + 30

- 8x = 24

- 8x ÷ - 8 = 24 ÷ - 8

x = - 3
