Answer:

10

Explanation:

because if you look at:

-(-8)

it shows 2 negatives. and parentheses means to multiply,

And a negative times a negative equals a positive.

So -(-8) is also like -1x-8

they both equal (Positive) 8.

so if you put 8 back in the question it will be:

2+8

so it equals 10

I hope this helps :)
