Answer:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by adding [tex]3x[/tex] to both sides, giving [tex]2-3x+3x=-x+3x-8[/tex], which after simplifying gives [tex]2=2x-8[/tex].

We then add [tex]8[/tex] to both sides, giving [tex]2+8=2x-8+8[/tex], which after simplifying gives [tex]10=2x[/tex].

We can then divide both sides by [tex]2[/tex], giving [tex]10/2=2x/2[/tex], which after simplifying gives [tex]5=x[/tex], or [tex]x=5[/tex]. So, x is 5.
