Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6 = 2x - 8
1. Subtract 2x from both sides
x - 2x + 6 = 2x - 2x - 8
2. Simplify
-x + 6 = -8
3. Now, subtract 6 from both sides
-x + 6 - 6 = -8 - 6
4. Simplify
-x = -14
5. Divide both sides by -1 because you would want the x by itself instead of having -x
-1x/-1 = -14/-1
6. Simplify
x = 14 <------ Answer
