Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - 2x - 5 - 10x = 6

3 - 12x = 6                          Combine like terms

-12x = 3                               Subtract 3 for both sides

x =- 1/4                                Divide -12 from both sides

or - 0.25

Check:

8 - 2(-0.25) - 5 - 10(-2.5) = 6

8 + .5 - 5 + 2.5 = 6

8.5 - 5 + 2.5 = 6

3.5 + 2.5 = 6

6 = 6
