5x+6\times 5+9\times 2+10=6.8\left(x+8\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -8 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+8.
5x+30+18+10=6.8\left(x+8\right)
Do the multiplications.
5x+48+10=6.8\left(x+8\right)
Add 30 and 18 to get 48.
5x+58=6.8\left(x+8\right)
Add 48 and 10 to get 58.
5x+58=6.8x+54.4
Use the distributive property to multiply 6.8 by x+8.
5x+58-6.8x=54.4
Subtract 6.8x from both sides.
-1.8x+58=54.4
Combine 5x and -6.8x to get -1.8x.
-1.8x=54.4-58
Subtract 58 from both sides.
-1.8x=-3.6
Subtract 58 from 54.4 to get -3.6.
x=\frac{-3.6}{-1.8}
Divide both sides by -1.8.
x=\frac{-36}{-18}
Expand \frac{-3.6}{-1.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=2
Divide -36 by -18 to get 2.
