Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = -100}`

Explanation:

Given equation:

`\displaystyle -(x)/(5) -8=12\\\\Add \ 8 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\-(x)/(5) = 12+ 8\\\\-(x)/(5) = 20\\\\Multiply \ both\ sides \ by \ 5\\\\-x = 20 * 5\\\\-x = 100\\\\Multiply\ both \ sides \ by\ -1\\\\x = -100\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`
