Answer:


\sf {x - 25 = - 33}


\sf x = - 33 + 25


\blue{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \sf \red{ x = \green{ - 8}}}}}

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To solve our problem we will use the law of signs that would be:


\sf- * + = -

Now we must subtract 33 - 25 which gives us 8, then taking our result into account gives us


\red{ \boxed{ \boxed{\sf \blue{ x = -8}}}}

Now we will check our result:

We put:


\sf x - 25 = -33

Now we know that his unknown number of "x" was 8, we put it as follows:


\sf-8 -25 = -33

Now we take the law of signs that is:


-*-=+

So, we'll add 25 + 8 which gives us about 33, so our result is correct.

x - 25 = -33

Add 25 to both sides.

x = -33 + 25

Add −33 and 25 to get −8.

x = -8
