Let's denote the number as ( x ).
According to the given information:
[ 2 + \frac{x}{8} = -7 ]
To solve for ( x ), first, we subtract 2 from both sides:
[ \frac{x}{8} = -7 - 2 ] [ \frac{x}{8} = -9 ]
Then, multiply both sides by 8 to isolate ( x ):
[ x = -9 \times 8 ] [ x = -72 ]
So, the number is -72.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
