Question

HELP PLEASE Solve for x: x - 8 = 3x - 2 -3 -2 3 1

Answer 1

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the eight to both sides, leaving x on the left and making the -2 a 6 on the right.

Now you have x= 3x-6

Add the six to the right, giving you 6+x=3x

Subtract the x from the left and right. you get 6=2x

Divide 6 by 2 to get x.

Answer 2

Answer is -3

Subtract 3x by both sides
Add 8 to both sides
Then divide both sides by -2
