Hi there!

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property: ⇒ a(b+c)=ab+ac

add by 2 both sides of an equation.

3x-2+2=-8+2

simplify.

3x=-6

divide by 3 both sides of an equation.

3x/3=-6/3

simplify.

-6/3=-2

6/3=2

3*2=6

6/2=3

x=-2

Hope this helps!

-Charlie

Have a great day!
