Answer:

∴ The equation is $x+4=-8$ and the value of required number is $-12$.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In context with question asked,
• We have to find the value of the statement " The sum of a number and four is equal to -8".
• According to given statement, addition of a number and $4$ gives $-8$.
• Let, $x$ be the number.
• So, the required equation becomes,

        $x+4=-8$

• Transpose $4$ to other side, we get

         ∴ $x=-8-4$

         ∴ $x=-12$

• ∴ The equation is $x+4=-8$ and the value of required number is $-12$.
