Answer:

  • True

Explanation:

So, Lets find out if the solution is true or not, So first let us find the value of x.

⇒ 8 = -x + 10

We can rewrite the equation as,

⇒ -x + 10 = 8

Subtracting 10 from both sides we get :

⇒ -x + 10 – 10 = 8 – 10

⇒ -x = -2

Multiplying both sides by (-1) :

⇒ -1(-x) = -1(-2)

x = 2

Therefore,

  • The statement "A solution to 8 = -x + 10 is 2" is true
