"more than" means to add.

"a number" is just a variable, let's say x.

"is" means equal to (=).

Therefore, your equation would be:

x + 8 = -12

Now, to solve for x, subtract 8 from both sides:

x = -20

Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem we have here? If we let the number be x, then we can write the equation as x + 8 = -12. To find the value of x, we simply subtract 8 from both sides to get x = -20. And just like that, we've solved the problem and created a beautiful mathematical landscape.
