Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of some of the given terms it has no solution.
But if you mean: x+2+x+8 then it can be simplified to 2x+10

How do you solve 4y plus x equals 8
8-5(2+x)=2(x+1)
Factor it. (x - 8)(x - 2) x = 2, 8
2x+8=10... Subtract 8 on both sides, then devide by 2... 2x=2... x=1
i don't get that if it is 2xy +8 or 8 + 2xy then you can't solve or simplify it any further if it were 8 x 2y then you time the 8 by the 2 to get 16y
