x-2=2-x-8
To find the opposite of x+8, find the opposite of each term.
x-2=-6-x
Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.
x-2+x=-6
Add x to both sides.
2x-2=-6
Combine x and x to get 2x.
2x=-6+2
Add 2 to both sides.
2x=-4
Add -6 and 2 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-2
Divide -4 by 2 to get -2.
