How to solve: what you do is start with the known answer, which is 2. And because the problem is one of addition, you do the opposite, subtraction. So, you subtract 8 from 2 (since you are taking the bigger from the smaller, you will go into negative numbers). So 2-8=x. The above answer is the correct answer.
