        4*(x + 7)            
    x - ---------            
            5                
x + ------------- = 2*x - 1/6
          8                  
$$x + \frac{x - \frac{4 \left(x + 7\right)}{5}}{8} = 2 x - \frac{1}{6}$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x+1/8*(x-4/5*(x+7)) = 2*x-1/6

Expand brackets in the left part
x+1/8*x-1/8*4/5*+1/8*x+1/8*7) = 2*x-1/6

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7/10 + 41*x/40 = 2*x-1/6

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{41 x}{40} = 2 x + \frac{8}{15}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{\left(-39\right) x}{40} = \frac{8}{15}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -39/40
x = 8/15 / (-39/40)

We get the answer: x = -64/117
