Multiply the first bracket by 6.

Multiply the second bracket by 8

6(x+1)-5x= 8+2(x-1)

6(x)+6(1)-5x= 8+2(x)+2(-1)

6x+6-5x= 8+2x-2

6x-5x+6= 8-2+2x

x+6= 6+2x

Move +2x to the other side. Sign changes from +2x to -2x.

x-2x+6= 6+2x-2x

-x+6= 6

Move +6 to the other side. Sign changes from +6 to -6.

-x+6-6= 6-6

-x=0

Multiply by -1 for -x and 0

-x(-1)= 0(-1)

x= 0

Answer: x= 0
