Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 16 to both sides:
2x = -16 + 8x
Subtract 8x from both sides
-6x = -16
Divide by negative -6
x = 8/3
-16 + 2x = -32 + 8x
Subtract 2x from each side
-16 + 2x-2x = -32 + 8x-2x
-16 = -32 + 6x
Add 32 to each side
-16+32 = -32+32 +6x
16 = 6x
Divide by 6
16/6 = 6x/6
8/3 =x
