Answer:

Answer: x is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]{ \tt{ - (x + 3) = 5}}[/tex]

» Open the bracket following distribution property:

[tex]{ \tt{ - x - 3 = 5}} \\ [/tex]

» Add 3 to both sides following addition rule of equality:

[tex]{ \tt{( - x - 3){ \green{ + 3}} = 5{ \green{ + 3}}}} \\ { \tt{ - x = 8}}[/tex]

» Divide either sides by -1 following division rule of equality

[tex]{ \tt{ \frac{ - x}{ \green{ - 1}} = \frac{8}{ \green{ - 1}} }} \\ \\ { \tt{x = - 8}}[/tex]
