Solve for \(x\) in \(2x+8=-2\).
Solve for \(x\).
\[2x+8=-2\]
Subtract \(8\) from both sides.
\[2x=-2-8\]
Simplify \(-2-8\) to \(-10\).
\[2x=-10\]
Divide both sides by \(2\).
\[x=-\frac{10}{2}\]
Simplify \(\frac{10}{2}\) to \(5\).
\[x=-5\]
Substitute \(x=-5\) into \((x=-6)\).
Since \(-5=-6\) is not true, this is an inconsistent system.
