Question

-8=-(x+4) solve for x show all work, help anyone ?

Answer 1

Your goal is to isolate X on one side...

In this case divide each side by Negative 1

you are left with 8 = x + 4

now tell me what you would do next?

Answer 2

//Expand the bracket
\[-8=-x-4 \]
//Multiply by -1
\[8=x+4\]
//Subtract 4
\[8-4 = x\]
\[x=4\]
