Answer:
The 8 should have remained positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
8-(-2)=8+2=10

Answer:
x = -1.5625
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
-8 x - 12.5 = 0
Add 12.5` to both sides:
(12.5 - 12.5) - 8 x = 12.5
12.5 - 12.5 = 0:
-8 x = 12.5
Divide both sides of -8 x = 12.5 by -8:
(-8 x)/(-8) = 12.5/(-8)
(-8)/(-8) = 1:
x = 12.5/(-8)
12.5/(-8) = -1.5625:
Answer: x = -1.5625
