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.
