Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the mystery number

Our equation will be:

x - 5 = 1 + 3x

-5 = 1 + 2x

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6  = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

8 + (-10) just confused lol
grin007 [14]
8+(-10) is like 10-8 except backwards so how i do some problems is like that and then add a negative sign; so say if i were doing 8+(-10), i would do 10-8 which equals 2 and then since 10 is bigger than 8 and it’s a negative number, i would put -2 as my answer
