Solve for x.

X-8=-20

-12

12

-28

28

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

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

x = - 20 + 8

x = - 12

-12

Step-by-step 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.
