Answer
$x=-10$
Work Step by Step
The distributive property allows us to distribute anything multiplied by something inside of the parenthesis to whatever is inside of the parenthesis. Thus, we distribute the -2 to everything inside of the first set of parenthesis and the -1 to everything inside of the second set of parenthesis, giving us the equation:
$-2x+8-3x+2=-6x$
We now simplify:
$-5x+10=-6x \\\\ 10=-x \\\\ x=-10$
