$$-8(x+8) = -112$$
Answer
$$ x = 6 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -8(x+8) &= -112&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-(8x+64) &= -112&& \\[1 em]-8x-64 &= -112&& \text{ move -64 to the right } \\[1 em]-8x &= -112+64&& \\[1 em]-8x &= -48&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -8 $ } \\[1 em]x &= \frac{-48}{-8}&& \\[1 em]x &= 6&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
