-8-(-n)=2 The negative sign before 8 and n make them negative numbers.The negative sign after 8 means that a negative number, -n is being subtracted from -8.

Collect like terms. Add 8 to both sides of the equation.

-8+8-(-n)=8+2. When a negative number is subtracted, it becomes positive . Therefore , -n becomes n.

n=10. -8-(-10)=2. -8+10=2. Review the rules for combining signed numbers.
