since you have a parentheses and a minus before you have to change the signal on both elements inside of the parentheses
2 -(3x)-(-8) (note that a minus + plus = minus and minus+ minus= plus) so you will have 2-3x+8 put the numbers together (2+8)-3x so you'll get 10-3x that's your final answer!

2 - (3x - 8) = 0
2 - 3x + 8 = 0
10 - 3x = 0
10 - 3x - 10 = 0 - 10
- 3x = - 10
- 3x/ - 3 = - 10 / - 3
x = 10/3
x = 3 1/3
x = 3.33333333. . . .

10-3x
2-1(3x-8)
2+(-1)(3x)+(-1)(-8)
2-3x+8
10-3x

Distribute the negative, then combine like terms.
