Salutations!

Let the number be
x

Your equation would be
x+8=100

Now that we have our equation, lets solve this!

Solve this by keeping the variables aside, and the numbers aside


x=100 -8

The sign would change because your are isolating the number


x=100-8


x= 92

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
