The answer is -14

Explanation:

x - 8 = 2x + 6

We move all term to the left

x - 8 - ( 2x + 6 ) = 0

We get rid of parentheses

x - 2x - 6 - 8 = 0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1x - 14 = 0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other term to the right

-x = 14
x = 14/-1
x = -14
