1. **Stating the problem:** Simplify and solve the equation given: $$8x = 28 \times 2 + 6x$$
2. **Write down the equation:** $$8x = 56 + 6x$$ because $28 \times 2 = 56$
3. **Isolate variable terms on one side:** Subtract $6x$ from both sides:
$$8x - 6x = 56 + \cancel{6x} - 6x$$
$$\cancel{8x} - \cancel{6x} = 56$$
$$2x = 56$$
4. **Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 2:**
$$\frac{2x}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{56}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$x = 28$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{x = 28}$$
