Solve the equation $$ |x+5|=3 $$.
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for $$x$$:
  $$\left|x+5ight|=3$$
- step1: Separate into possible cases:
  $$\begin{align}&x+5=3\&x+5=-3\end{align}$$
- step2: Solve the equation:
  $$\begin{align}&x=-2\&x=-8\end{align}$$
- step3: Rewrite:
  $$x_{1}=-8,x_{2}=-2$$
The solutions to the equation $$|x+5|=3$$ are $$x=-8$$ and $$x=-2$$.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. -8 and -2.
The solutions are $$ x = -8 $$ and $$ x = -2 $$, so the answer is D.
