No, 2 is not the solution to the equation above. Because, if you multiplied 6 and 2 together, (also known as x) it will become 12. Then, you would have to subtract 8 by 12, which would make -4. That would end up looking something like this: 4 = -4. And 4 does not equal -4, so 2 would not be a/the solution. Hope this helps!
