(7 - 10x) - (8 - 8X) + (10x + 6) = -8

Let's simplify the given expression step by step:

(7 - 10x) - (8 - 8x) + (10x + 6) = -8

Starting with the parentheses, we can simplify them individually:

7 - 10x = 7 - 10x 8 - 8x = 8 - 8x 10x + 6 = 10x + 6

Now the equation becomes:

7 - 10x - 8 + 8x + 10x + 6 = -8

Combining like terms:

(7 - 8) - 10x + 8x + 10x + 6 = -8 -1 + 18x + 6 = -8

Combine like terms again:

18x + 5 = -8

Now we want to isolate the variable 'x' by moving the constant terms to the other side of the equation:

18x = -8 - 5 18x = -13

Finally, we solve for 'x' by dividing both sides of the equation by 18:

x = -13/18

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -13/18.
