First you should tell us what you have tried.
Second have you even looked at other problems in this category to see if you could learn something.
Remove the parentheses
we must remember
a-minus times a plus = minus
b-if there is no sign it is plus
c-minus times a minus =plus
Example: -5*+4=-20
That could be written in other ways.
-5(4)=-20
4(-5)=-20
-5(+4)=-20

8x-(3x+6)=29
8x-3x-6=29 (distributed negative sign)
5x-6=29 (simplify x)
5x-6+6=29+6 (add 6 to both sides)
5x=35 (divide by 5)
x=7
