Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{8 = 2x + 88}\\\mathsf{2x + 88 = 8}\\\large\text{Subtract 88 to both sides}\\\mathsf{2x + 88 - 88 = 8 - 88}\\\large\text{Simplify it:}\\\mathsf{2x = 8 - 88}\\\mathsf{2x = -80}\\\large\text{Divide 2 to both sides:}\\\mathsf{(2x)/(2) = (-80)/(2)}\\\large\text{Simplify it:}\\\mathsf{x = (-80)/(2)}\\\\\mathsf{x = -40}\\\\\\\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x = -40}}}\huge\checkmark`
