Answer:

$x=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

To cancel out "- 2", we add 2 into both sides.

$-3x(-2+2)=2x+(8+2)$

$-3x=2x+10$

Now, we need to get rid of 2x so we can have one x.

Let's subtract 2x from both sides.

$(-3x-2x)=(2x-2x)+10$

$-5x=10$

To get x by itself, we will divide both sides by -5.

$\frac{-5x}{-5} =\frac{10}{-5}$

$x=-2$

<em>The value of x in the given equation is -2. I do not see a -2 in the answer choices. </em>

${( {2}^{8} \times {3}^{ - 5} \times {6}^{0} })^{ - 2} \\ = \frac{1}{ {( {2}^{8} \times {3}^{ - 5} \times {6}^{0} })^{2} } \\ = \frac{1}{ {(256 \times \frac{1}{ {3}^{5} } \times 1 })^{2} } \\ = \frac{1}{ {(256 \times \frac{1}{243} \times 1 })^{2} } \\ = \frac{1}{ ({ \frac{256}{243} })^{2} } \\ = \frac{1}{ \frac{ {256}^{2} }{ {243}^{2} } } \\ = \frac{1}{ \frac{65536}{59049} } \\ = \frac{59049}{65536}$
The answer is 59049/65539
