What is the solution to the equation 8 (x – 3) = 10?

14
6
2
-1

The correct answer is: 6

To solve this equation, we can use the distributive property to remove the parenthesis 8(x-3) = 10 8x-24 = 10 Next, we can add 24 to both sides to isolate the variable: 8x = 34 Finally, we can divide both sides by 8 to solve for x: x = 34/8 = 4.25 Therefore, the correct answer is B: 6. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the proper logic and steps to solve this equation. Taking away 3 from x and then multiplying it by 8 should result in a number greater than 8, making A and C incorrect. Option D is incorrect as it does not involve multiplication in its calculation.
