To solve the equation 8 + (-10), we start at the number 8 on the number line and move 10 units to the left.
Since we are moving to the left, we subtract 10 from 8:
8 - 10 = -2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8 + (-10) is "-2" or "negative 2".
To solve the equation 8 + (-10), we can use the number line as a model.
First, start at the number 8 on the number line.
Then, move 10 units to the left because we have a negative 10.
This brings us to the number -2.
So, the solution to the equation 8 + (-10) is -2 or negative 2.
