Look at each word or group of words and see how it translates into a mathematical expression.
A number...
x
...multiplied by -8...
x*(-8), or -8x
...subtracted from...
(???) - (-8x) (we don't yet know what the -8x is subtracted from)
...subtracted from the sum of...
(??? + ???) - (-8x) (now we know the -8x is subtracted from the sum of two (or more) things)
...subtracted from the sum of 10 and 3 times the number
(10+3x) - (-8x) (and now we know exactly what sum the -8x is subtracted from
Complete translation:
(10+3x) - (-8x)
