    x = - 7/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x-6) - 8x = - 2+5 (2x+1)

    Distribute

    3x - 18 - 8x = - 2 + 10x + 5

    Combine like terms

    -5x - 18 = 3 + 10x

    Add 5x to each side

    -5x+5x-18 = 3+10x+5x

    -18 = 3+15x

    Subtract 3 from each side

    -18-3 = - 3+3+15x

    -21 = 15x

    Divide each side by 15

    -21/15 = 15x/15

    -7/5 = x
