Question 61129
{{{(8^2+8x-2)-(8x^2+5)=6x+2}}}  Clear the parentheses on the left.
{{{8x^2+8x-2-8x^2-5=6x+2}}}  Combine like terms on the left.
{{{8x^2-8x^2+8x-2-5=6x+2}}}
{{{0+8x-7=6x+2}}}
{{{8x-7=6x+2}}}  Subtract 6x from both sides to get all your x's on the left.
{{{8x-6x-7=6x-6x+2}}}
{{{2x-7=0+2}}}
{{{2x-7=2}}}  Add 7 to both sides.
{{{2x-7+7=2+7}}}
{{{2x+0=9}}}
{{{2x=9}}}  Divide both sides by 2
{{{2x/2=9/2}}}
{{{highlight(x=9/2)}}}
