Solve 2=-8/3-8+x

$$2 = - \frac{ 8 }{ 3 } -8+x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{38}{3} = 12\frac{2}{3} \approx 12.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$2=-\frac{8}{3}-\frac{24}{3}+x$$

Since -\frac{8}{3} and \frac{24}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2=\frac{-8-24}{3}+x$$

Subtract 24 from -8 to get -32.

$$2=-\frac{32}{3}+x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-\frac{32}{3}+x=2$$

Add \frac{32}{3} to both sides.

$$x=2+\frac{32}{3}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{6}{3}.

$$x=\frac{6}{3}+\frac{32}{3}$$

Since \frac{6}{3} and \frac{32}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{6+32}{3}$$

Add 6 and 32 to get 38.

$$x=\frac{38}{3}$$
