Answer:
x= -4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
first distribute on both sides
8x -8 = -2x -16
isolate x on one side
10x = -8
x = -8/10
you can simplify that fraction to get
x= -4/5
8 ( x - 1) = -2 ( x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2 ( x + 8)
Distribute ^
Distribute again
8x - 8 = -2 (x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2x -16
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
X = -4/5
8x - 8 = -2 ( x + 8)

Distribute again
8x - 8 = -2 (x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2x -16
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
X = -4/5
