Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−2x+8=10
Step 1: Subtract 8 from both sides.
−2x+8−8=10−8
−2x=2
Step 2: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x−2=2−2
x=−1
Answer:
-2
The coefficient of an equation or expression is any constant that precedes a variable. So, in this case, the only variable is x, so the coefficient is the preceding number, -2.
