Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
     -8      -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
 -2      -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8

Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16

CORRECT ANSWER. :)
