Answer: x =
(1)/(3)

Explanation:

  1. If we distribute the parenthesis in the equation, we get: 8x + 6 = 5x + 5 + 2
  2. If we simplify that, we get: 8x + 6 = 5x + 7
  3. If we subtract some of the values, we get: 3x = 1
  4. If we simplify that, we get: x =
    (1)/(3)
  5. Therefore, x =
    (1)/(3) is the answer.
