Answer:
x=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-6) +8=5x-6=
3x-18+8=5x-6=
3x-10=5x-6=
3x-5x=10-6=
-2x=4
x=-2
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 6) + 8 = 5x - 6
Distribute;
3x - 18 + 8 = 5x - 6
Collect like terms;
3x - 10 = 5x - 6
Subtract 5x from both sides;
-2x - 10 = -6
Add 10 to both sides;
-2x = 4
Divide both sides by -2
x = -2
