    x=2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2 (1 - 4x) = 3x + 8

    The first step is to distribute the - 2

    -2*1 - 2 (-4x) = 3x+8

    -2+8x = 3x+8

    Subtract 3x from each side.

    -2+8x-3x = 3x-3x+8

    -2+5x=8

    Add 2 to each side

    -2+2 + 5x=8+2

    5x=10

    Divide by 5

    5x/5 = 10/5

    x=2
