Wrong, it's A.

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
x - 2 = 8
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 10

So, the solution is x = 10, which corresponds to option B.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's check if option A is indeed the correct answer by plugging it back into the equation:

If x = -16, then the equation becomes:

-16 - 2 = 8
-18 ≠ 8

Therefore, option A is incorrect. The correct solution is x = 10. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
