1. Distribute the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses: -8x - 16 + 2x = -5x + 10
2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Add 5x to both sides of the equation: -x - 16 = 10
4. Add 16 to both sides of the equation: -x = 26
5. Multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to get the variable x by itself: x = -26
1. Distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses: -8x - 16 + 2x = -5x + 10
2. Combine like terms on each side of the equation: -6x - 16 = -5x + 10
3. Move all the terms with x to one side of the equation by adding 6x to both sides: -16 = x + 10
4. Solve for x by subtracting 10 from both sides: -26 = x
