Answer 1

Answer:

it should be x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

5+(x-2)= -8

3+x=8

-3    -3

answer is x=5

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$5+(x-2)=-8$

Let's subtract 5 from both sides:

$(5+(x-2))-5=(-8)-5$

The left side will cancel. Subtract on the right:

$x-2=-13$

Now, add 2 to both sides:

$(x-2)+2=(-13)+2$

Again, the left side will cancel. Add the right:

$x=-11$

And we're done!
