First solve for "x":


10x-8=-28 Start with the given equation.


10x=-28%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


10x=-20 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-20%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x.


x=-2 Reduce.


Now plug the given value of "x" into the expression 8x%2B10


8x%2B10 Start with the given expression


8%28-2%29%2B10 Plug in x=-2


-16%2B10 Multiply


-6 Add


So 8x%2B10=-6 if 10x-8=-28

if 10x-8=-28, evaluate 8x+10
--------------
10x-8 = -28
10x = -20
x = -2
----------
8x = -16
8x+10 = -16+10
8x+10 = -6
