Your answer is x=-14.
To solve for X, first you want to write out your equation. Next, you want to multiple both sides by two so you can get rid of them fraction. Doing this will cancel out your fraction, and you get: -x -6=8. Next you want to move the constant to the right, by adding 6. Then you get -x=14. X can’t be a negative, so divide -1 by moving the negative sign to the other side. Thus, you get x=-14
Hope this helps :)
