Question 1102335
I believe tutor Ikleyn's
x = {{{(-4)/2}}} = {{{-1/2}}}
should be 
x = {{{(-4)/8}}} = {{{-1/2}}}.
It has been corrected.

Lightning Fast read the problem as
(Six less than eight) times a number equals negative ten 
(8-6) * x = -10
rather than
Six less than (eight times a number) equals negative ten 
8x - 6 = -10
