You have teh following equation:

x/5 - 8 = - 2

In order to solve the previous equation for x, you proceed as follow:

x/5 - 8 = -2 add 8 both sides

x/5 = - 2 + 8 simplify

x/5 = 6 multiply by 5 both sides (to cancel out denominator 5)

x = 6(5)

x = 30

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x = 30
