Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = - 2 into the equation and if both sides are equal then it is a solution to the equation.

left side = 2(- 2) - 8 = - 4 - 8 = - 12

right side = 3(- 2 - 1) - 2(- 2) = 3(- 3) + 4 = - 9 + 4 = - 5

left side ≠ right side

Then x = - 2 is not a solution to the equation
