`2-7x-3x=-8x-8\\\\-7x-3x+8x=-8-2\\\\-2x=-10 \ \ /:(-2)\\\\\huge\boxed{x=5}`

Answer 2

x =5

Explanation:

combine the like terms:

2 -7x -3x = -8x -8

= 2 -10x = -8x -8

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

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

= -10x = -8x -10

= -10x +8x = -8x -10 +8x

= -2x = -10

= -2x/-2 = -10/-2

simplify

x = 5
