Which of the following equations has a solution of −8 ?
x − 4 = −12
x − 8 = 0
x + 3 = −11
x − 10 = 2
The equation x + 8 = 0 has a solution of -8.
Choose one of the correct options I gave you?? Tf
Apologies for the misunderstanding. The correct equation that has a solution of -8 is: x + 8 = 0.
To find the equation that has a solution of -8, we need to substitute -8 for x in each equation and see which equation satisfies that solution.
1. x − 4 = -12:
Substituting -8 for x, we get -8 - 4 = -12.
This simplifies to -12 = -12, which is true.
2. x − 8 = 0:
Substituting -8 for x, we get -8 - 8 = 0.
This simplifies to -16 = 0, which is false.
3. x + 3 = -11:
Substituting -8 for x, we get -8 + 3 = -11.
This simplifies to -5 = -11, which is false.
4. x − 10 = 2:
Substituting -8 for x, we get -8 - 10 = 2.
This simplifies to -18 = 2, which is false.
Therefore, the equation that has a solution of -8 is x − 4 = -12.
