Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot simplify this equation all the way, it will end as an expression. Since you did not put anything at one side of the equation, I will assume you are trying to find the value of x
So, you add the like terms to get
8 + 2x = 0
Now subtract 8 from both sides to get
2x = -8
Now divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x = -4
If I read the question wrong and you just want to simplify the expression, then the answer is 8 + 2x
