The equation 2(x+8) = 2x+8 is a linear equation. To solve it, you can distribute the 2 on the left side:
2(x+8) = 2x + 8
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
Next, subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the constants on one side:
2x + 16 - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x
16 = 8
However, you will find that this equation is inconsistent and has no solutions.
