Combine like terms. 

-7x - 3x = -10x
-10x + 2 = 8x - 8
+10x        +10x

2 = 18x - 8
+8          +8

10 = 18x

18x/18 = 10/18
x = 5/9

If you would like to solve the equation - 7 x

  • 3 x + 2 = 8 x - 8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

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

3 x - 8 x = - 8 - 2

  • 18 x =
  • 10    /(-18)

x = 10 / 18
x = 5/9

The
correct result would be 5/9.
