Solve for x .−10−2x=−8 (1 point)Responsesx=1x equals 1x=−1x equals negative 1x=4x equals 4x=9
To solve the equation -10 - 2x = -8, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Starting with -10 - 2x = -8:
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
-10 + 10 - 2x = -8 + 10
Simplifying:
-2x = 2
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x / -2 = 2 / -2
x = -1
Therefore, x equals -1.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's solve the equation again.
Starting with -10 - 2x = -8:
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
-10 + 10 - 2x = -8 + 10
Simplifying:
-2x = 2
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x / -2 = 2 / -2
x = -1
Therefore, x equals -1.
Solve for x .5=2x−11 (1 point)Responsesx=3x equals 3x=−3x equals negative 3x=8x equals 8x=−8
To solve the equation 5 = 2x - 11, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Starting with 5 = 2x - 11:
Add 11 to both sides of the equation:
5 + 11 = 2x - 11 + 11
Simplifying:
16 = 2x
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
16 / 2 = 2x / 2
8 = x
Therefore, x equals 8.
Solve for x .114x+9=31 (1 point)Responsesx=−8 x equals negative 8x=8x equals 8x=22 x equals 22x=110
To solve the equation 114x + 9 = 31, we need to isolate the variable x on one side.
Starting with 114x + 9 = 31:
Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:
114x + 9 - 9 = 31 - 9
Simplifying:
114x = 22
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 114:
114x / 114 = 22 / 114
x = 22/114
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
x = 11/57
Therefore, x equals 11/57.
not correct
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve the equation correctly.
Starting with 114x + 9 = 31:
Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:
114x = 31 - 9
Simplifying:
114x = 22
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 114:
x = 22/114
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
x = 11/57
Therefore, x equals 11/57.
