2x+8=2\left(-8-x\right)-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+4.
2x+8=-16-2x-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -8-x.
2x+8=-16-4x
Combine -2x and -2x to get -4x.
2x+8+4x=-16
Add 4x to both sides.
6x+8=-16
Combine 2x and 4x to get 6x.
6x=-16-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
6x=-24
Subtract 8 from -16 to get -24.
x=\frac{-24}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=-4
Divide -24 by 6 to get -4.
