Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

→ -8 = -(x + 4)

Now the value of x will be,

→ -8 = -(x + 4)

→ -8 = -x - 4

→ -x = -8 + 4

→ -x = -4

→ [ x = 4 ]

Hence, the value of x is 4.

Answer:

x = 4

____________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

We're solving the equation: -8=-(x+4)

Solve:

-8=-(x+4)

Distribute the negative to the variables in the parenthesis.

-8 = -x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

-4 = -x

Divide by -1

4 = x (same as x = 4)
