Answer:
The value of x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
[tex]-3-\left(-8\right)-\left(-2\right)\:=\:x[/tex]
switch sides
[tex]x=-3-\left(-8\right)-\left(-2\right)[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a[/tex]
[tex]x=-3+8+2[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-3+8+2=7[/tex]
[tex]x=7[/tex]
Thus, the value of x = 7
