8-\left(-x\right)-\left(-2\right)=5x-\left(6-9x\right)
To find the opposite of -x-2, find the opposite of each term.
8-\left(-x\right)+2=5x-\left(6-9x\right)
The opposite of -2 is 2.
10-\left(-x\right)=5x-\left(6-9x\right)
Add 8 and 2 to get 10.
10-\left(-x\right)=5x-6-\left(-9x\right)
To find the opposite of 6-9x, find the opposite of each term.
10-\left(-x\right)=5x-6+9x
The opposite of -9x is 9x.
10-\left(-x\right)=14x-6
Combine 5x and 9x to get 14x.
10-\left(-x\right)-14x=-6
Subtract 14x from both sides.
-\left(-x\right)-14x=-6-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-\left(-x\right)-14x=-16
Subtract 10 from -6 to get -16.
x-14x=-16
Multiply -1 and -1 to get 1.
-13x=-16
Combine x and -14x to get -13x.
x=\frac{-16}{-13}
Divide both sides by -13.
x=\frac{16}{13}
Fraction \frac{-16}{-13} can be simplified to \frac{16}{13} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
