Question

Solve for x.
X-8=-20
-12
12
-28
28

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

-12 + -8 is -20.

x= -12 because if you added 28 or 12, the answer would be positive. If you subtracted -28 from -8 your answer would be -36.

So the only answer is -12.

Answer 2

-12

Explanation:

x - 8 = -20 (add 8 to both sides)

x = -20 + 8

x = -12
