Answer:
x = -9 i hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given the equation
5x + 8 - 3x = -10
first let's combine like terms
5x - 3x = 2x
2x + 8 = -10
lets subtract 8 from both sides
2x = -18
now divide both sides by the value of 2
x = -9
now lets plug the value of x into the equation we were given to begin with
5(-9) + 8 -3(-9) = -10
-45 + 8 + 27 = -10
combine like terms
-45 + 8 = -37
-37 + 27 = -10
-10 = -10
