Question

10-(8x-2)=5x+2(-4x+1)

Answer 1

10-8x+2=5x+2.(-4x)+2.1
10-8x+2=5x+8x+2
-8x-5x-8x=2-2-10
-21x=-10
x=10/21

Answer 2

  10-(8x-2)=5x+2(-4x+1)

 10 - 8x + 2 = 5x -8x + 2

    - 8x + 8x - 5x = 2 - 2 -10

                  - 5x = - 10(-1)
                     5x = 10
                  
                      x =2
