Answer 1

None of given

x = -1²/₇

Explanation:

-(-10x - 8) = -(4x + 10)

10x + 8 = -4x - 10

-8 -8

10x = -4x - 18

+4x +4x

14x = -18

÷14 ÷14

x = -¹⁸/₁₄ = -⁹/₇ = -1²/₇

I think you meant -(10x-8)=-(4x+10)

Then:

-(10x - 8) = -(4x + 10)

-10x + 8 = -4x - 10

-8 -8

-10x = -4x - 18

+4x +4x

-6x = -18

÷(-6) ÷(-6)

x = 3 D)
