Solve the equation.
5x + 8 - 3x = -10

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
