To solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the equation [tex]\( -22 = -8 + 2x \)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Isolate the term containing [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:

Move [tex]\(-8\)[/tex] to the left side of the equation by adding [tex]\(8\)[/tex] to both sides:
[tex]\[ -22 + 8 = -8 + 2x + 8 \][/tex]
Simplifying this, we get:
[tex]\[ -14 = 2x \][/tex]

2. Solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:

Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]\(2\)[/tex] to isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{-14}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} \][/tex]
Simplifying this, we find:
[tex]\[ x = -7 \][/tex]

So, the solution is:
[tex]\[ x = -7 \][/tex]
