Question

I would seriously appreciate if u helped me TvT

Answer 1

it should be x=5

Explanation:

5+(x-2)= -8

3+x=8

-3 -3

answer is x=5

Answer 2

`x=-11`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`5+(x-2)=-8`

Let's subtract 5 from both sides:

`(5+(x-2))-5=(-8)-5`

The left side will cancel. Subtract on the right:

`x-2=-13`

Now, add 2 to both sides:

`(x-2)+2=(-13)+2`

Again, the left side will cancel. Add the right:

`x=-11`

And we're done!
