16-6x-\left(2-7x\right)=12-\left(5-2x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 8-3x.
16-6x-2-\left(-7x\right)=12-\left(5-2x\right)
To find the opposite of 2-7x, find the opposite of each term.
16-6x-2+7x=12-\left(5-2x\right)
The opposite of -7x is 7x.
14-6x+7x=12-\left(5-2x\right)
Subtract 2 from 16 to get 14.
14+x=12-\left(5-2x\right)
Combine -6x and 7x to get x.
14+x=12-5-\left(-2x\right)
To find the opposite of 5-2x, find the opposite of each term.
14+x=12-5+2x
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
14+x=7+2x
Subtract 5 from 12 to get 7.
14+x-2x=7
Subtract 2x from both sides.
14-x=7
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
-x=7-14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
-x=-7
Subtract 14 from 7 to get -7.
x=7
Multiply both sides by -1.
