Answer:
7/5x -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to simplify this expression.
[tex]\dfrac{-3}{5}x-\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot\left(-8x+\dfrac{5}{6}\right)-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=-\dfrac{3}{5}x+\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\cdot(-8x)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\cdot\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=\left(-\dfrac{3}{5}+2\right)x-\left(\dfrac{5}{24}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)\\\\=\dfrac{7}{5}x-\dfrac{5+3}{24}=\boxed{\dfrac{7}{5}x-\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Additional comment
2 = 10/5; 1/8 = 3/24; 8/24 = 1/3. The x-terms get combined and the constants get combined. It is generally helpful to eliminate parentheses first using the distributive property.
