Answer:

-10

Explanation:

1. Write it out.

x+8=-2

2. Get x by itself.

To do this, we have to move the 8, but to do that that we have to move it to the other side of the equation. Because the opposite of addition is subtraction, we have to subtract 8 by both sides. x+8=-2

-8 -8

x=-10

And that's the answer! Hope this helped :)
