Answer
$$ x = 44 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 3(x-8) &= 2(x+10)&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]3x-24 &= 2x+20&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 2x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ -24 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]3x-2x &= 20+24&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]x &= 44&& \\[1 em]x &= 44&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
