How to solve 6x+5x-4=2x-8

Answer 1

6x+5x-4=2x-8~~~First we simplify(add 6x and 5x)
11x-4=2x-8~~~Now add 4 to both sides
       +4      +4
11x=2x-4~~~~Remove 2x from both sides now.
-2x   -2x
9x=-4~~~~Now divide by 9x
÷9x ÷9x

x= -4/9

Answer 2

6x + 5x - 4 = 2x - 8
   11x    - 4 = 2x - 8
   11x  - 4 (-2x) = 2x - 8 (-2x)
     9x  - 4     = -8
     9x  - 4 (+4) = -8 (+4)
     9x            =     -4
     9x (/9)     =      -4 (/9)
      x             =     $- \frac{4}{9}$
