Question

type the integer that makes the following addition sentence true:
□ + 8 = -3

Explanation:

Step1: Let the integer be \( x \)

We have the equation \( x + 8=-3 \)

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: \( x=-3 - 8 \)
Since \( -3-8=-11 \) (because subtracting a positive is like adding a negative, so \( -3+(-8)=-11 \))

Answer:

\( -11 \)
