    x=2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    13x - 2 (8+5x) = 12 - 11x

    The first step is to distribute the - 2

    13x - 2*8 - 2*5x = 12-11x

    13x - 16-10x = 12-11x

    Combine like terms

    3x-16 = 12-11x

    Add 11x to each side

    3x+11x - 16 = 12-11x+11x

    14x-16 = 12

    Add 16 to each side

    14x-16+16 = 12+16

    14x=28

    Divide by 14

    14x/14 = 28/14

    x = 2

    Combine like terms

    3x - 16 = 12 - 11x

    Addition property of equality

    3x = 28 - 11x

    Addition property of equality

    14x = 28

    Divison property of equality

    x = 2
