All you have to remember is this. Reverse the operation. For example on this problem there is a -2 right? So reverse the operation and (REMEMBER:Always do what you did on one side to the other side) then you would have +2 on both sides. You do the same for variables and all of the numbers and result with 8x=2, so divide by 8 and get x=1/4
