Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

x + 5 = -3

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Subtract 5 on both sides:                     x = -8

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in x:                    -8 + 5 = -3
2. Add:                                     -3 = -3

Here we see that -3 does indeed equal -3.

∴ x = -8 is the solution to the equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$x=-3-5$

Simplify $-3 -5$ to $-8$

$x=-8$

let check if the answer is correct

$x+5=-3$

Let $x=-8$

$-8+5=-3$

Simplify $-8+5$ to $-3$

$-3=-3$
