What is x+8=(-5) and how do expan it

X= -13

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to get x by itself!

Rule of thumb: whatever you do to the left, you MUST do to the right

Step 1: Subtract 8 from the left side of the equation (the  =  sign)

x + 8 = (-5)

  - 8 --> this gets x by itself

Step 2: Subtract 8 from (-5) on the right side (because you did it on the left

x = (-5)

     - 8

*note: x is now by itself*

Step 3: Solve!

x = (-5) - 8 -13

x = -13
