y\left(x-8\right)=2+\left(x-8\right)\left(-6\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 8 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-8.
yx-8y=2+\left(x-8\right)\left(-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-8.
yx-8y=2-6x+48
Use the distributive property to multiply x-8 by -6.
yx-8y=50-6x
Add 2 and 48 to get 50.
yx-8y+6x=50
Add 6x to both sides.
yx+6x=50+8y
Add 8y to both sides.
\left(y+6\right)x=50+8y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y+6\right)x=8y+50
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y+6\right)x}{y+6}=\frac{8y+50}{y+6}
Divide both sides by y+6.
x=\frac{8y+50}{y+6}
Dividing by y+6 undoes the multiplication by y+6.
x=\frac{2\left(4y+25\right)}{y+6}
Divide 50+8y by y+6.
x=\frac{2\left(4y+25\right)}{y+6}\text{, }x\neq 8
Variable x cannot be equal to 8.
