4(x — 8)+10 = -10
What is the solution to this equation?

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation 4(x - 8) + 10 = -10 and are asked to find the solution, solution meaning to get x alone.

To do so, first distribute the 4 on the outside of the parenthesis to both values on the inside of the parenthesis :

4(x - 8)

(4 * x - 4 * 8)

4x - 32

4x - 32 + 10 = -10

Now combine like terms :

4x - 22 = -10

Now it's time to get x alone, first get rid of -22 by adding 22 to both sides :

4x = 12

Now get x alone by dividing both sides by 4 :

x = 3

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
