Answer: 0 = 0

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange terms: 6-2 ( -x+8 ) = 2x -10

Distribute: 6 + 2x - 16 = 2x - 10

Subtract 6 and 16: -10 + 2x = 2x - 10

Rearrange terms: 2x - 10 = 2x -10

Add ten to both sides: 2x - 10 + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10

Simplify: 2x = 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides: 2x - 2 = 2x - 2

Simplify: 0 = 0

Hope that helps!
