Subtract 3x from both sides
2x-2=8

Add 2 to both sides
2x=10

Divide both sides by 2
x=5

Final answer: x=5

I had homework on this today lol

First, add 2 to both sides. It would then be 5x = 3x + 10. Then subtract 3x from both sides and you would end up with 2x = 10. Divide 2x by 2 and the 10 by 2. The answer is x = 5.
