Answer:


x = -36

Explanation:

Solve for
x :


10x + 36 = 8x - 36

-Subtract
8x from
10x :


10x - 8x + 36 = 8x - 8x - 36


2x + 36 = -36

-Subtract both sides of the equation by
36 :


2x + 36 - 36 = -36 -36


2x = -72

-Take
2x divide it on both sides:


(2x)/(2) = (-72)/(2)


x = -36

So therefore, the value of
x is
-36.
