    The solution to the given equation is that the value of x is - 8.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -4 (2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)

    Distribute - 4 to (2x + 3).

    -8x - 12 = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)

    Since there is a negative sign in front of (8x + 2) then you will turn the terms into negatives.

    -8x - 12 = 2x + 6 - 8x - 2

    Now, combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

    -8x - 12 = - 6x + 4

    Add - 6x on both sides of the equation.

    -2x - 12 = 4

    Add 12 to both sides of the equation.

    -2x = 16

    Divide - 2 on both sides on the equation.

    x = - 8

    So, the value of x is - 8.
