Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

2 - x = x - 8

- x + 2 = x - 8

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

- x = x - 10

- x - x = x - x - 10

- 2x = - 10

- 2x ÷ - 2 = - 10 ÷ - 2

x = 5

Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

2 - x = x - 8

- x = x - 8 - 2 (subtract 2 from both sides)

- x = x - 10 (combine like terms)

- 2x = - 10 (subtract x from both sides)

x = 5 (divide each side by -2).
