    -6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    2 (x-5) = 6x - (x-8)

    2 (x-5) = 6x+-1 (x-8) (Distribute the Negative Sign)

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

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

    (2) (x) + (2) (-5) = 6x+-x+8 (Distribute)

    2x+-10=6x+-x+8

    2x-10 = (6x+-x) + (8) (Combine Like Terms)

    2x-10=5x+8

    2x-10=5x+8

    Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

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

    -3x-10=8

    Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

    -3x-10+10=8+10

    -3x=18

    Step 4: Divide both sides by - 3.

    -3x

    -3

    =

    18

    -3

    x=-6

    Answer:

    x=-6
