Question

8x + 6 - 2x = 34 x= ?

Answer 1

8x + 6 - 2x = 34x

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x

Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:
$\frac{6}{28}$ = x

Simplify $\frac{6}{28}$ to $\frac{3}{14}$ :
$\frac{3}{14}$ = x

Now switch sides and the answer is:

x = $\frac{3}{14}$

Answer 2

8x+6+2x=34

10x+6=34

10x=28

x=2.8
