Solve x + 2 = 0

  1. x = -2

  2. x = 0

  3. x = 2

  4. x = -1

The correct answer is: x = -2

To solve this equation, we need to get x by itself on one side of the equation. In this case, we can do that by subtracting 2 from both sides. This will give us x = -2 as our answer. Option B is incorrect because 0 is not the value of x that satisfies the equation x + 2 = 0. Option C is also incorrect because x = 2 does not make the equation true. Option D is incorrect because -1 is not the value of x that makes the equation true. Therefore, option A is the only correct answer.
