1. Use the distributive property to remove parentheses: 2 * 4x + 2 * 8 + 2x = -5x + 10
2. Simplify both sides of the equation: 8x + 16 + 2x = -5x + 10
3. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: 8x + 2x + 16 = -5x + 10
4. Simplify further: 10x + 16 = -5x + 10
5. Move all x terms to one side of the equation by adding 5x to both sides: 10x + 5x + 16 = 10
6. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: 15x + 16 = 10
7. Move the constant term to the other side by subtracting 16 from both sides: 15x = 10 - 16
8. Simplify further: 15x = -6
9. Divide both sides of the equation by 15: x = -6/15
10. Simplify further if possible: x = -2/5
