8x - 88 = 2x - 34
6x = 54
x = 9
1. 16, the ones with fruits
2. 87, with the cars
I’m pretty sure that’s true.
The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.
If you were to solve the equation it would look like this:
2x+6=3x-8
-3x -3x
-x+6=-8
-6 -6
-x=-14
/-1 /-1
x=14
