Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute the -2 to (x - 4), -2 × x is -2x and -2 × -4 is 8. The equation should now look like this, -2x + 8 = -8. Then subtract the positive 8 from both sides, giving you, -2x = -16. Then divide both sides by -2 and you should get 8 as your answer.
