7 – 5(2 – x) = –(x – 8) = 11/6

Since there are two = signs, I'll assume the second one is a +. Then we have

7 – 5(2 – x) = –(x – 8) + 11/6
7 - 10 + 5x = -x + 8 + 11/6
5x+x = 8 + 11/6 - 7 + 10
6x = 77/6
x = 77/36

I expect there's a typo I misread, so just fix it and then follow the steps to solution.
