Verified step by step guidance1
Start with the given equation: \(8x - 2 - 5x = 8\).
Combine like terms on the left side by subtracting \$5x\( from \)8x$, which gives \(3x - 2 = 8\).
Isolate the term with \(x\) by adding 2 to both sides: \(3x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2\), simplifying to \(3x = 10\).
Solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides of the equation by 3: \(x = \frac{10}{3}\).
Verify the solution by substituting \(x = \frac{10}{3}\) back into the original equation to ensure both sides are equal.
