    -29/7 = x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x-6) - 8 = - 2+5 (2x+1)

    Distribute

    3x-18-8 = - 2 + 10x+5

    Combine like terms

    3x-26 = 10x+3

    Subtract 3x from each side

    3x-3x-26 = 10x-3x+3

    -26 = 7x+3

    Subtract 3 from each

    -26-3 = 7x + 3-3

    -29 = 7x

    Divide each side by 7

    -29/7 = 7x/7

    -29/7 = x
