We start with the given equation

[tex] x^{2} + 4 = 8 [/tex]

Now, we solve the equation, we subtract 4 on either side,

[tex] x^{2} +4 -4 = 8-4 [/tex]

[tex] x^{2} = 4 [/tex]

[tex] x = \sqrt{4} [/tex]

[tex] \sqrt{4 } = +2 and -2 [/tex]

x = +2 or -2

So, x= +2 and x =-2

Since the given conjuncture says X=-2, we can conclude that the given conjuncture is TRUE
