Hey there!
150 = 8x + 6y
↠ 150 = 8x + 6(9)
↠ 8x + 6(9) = 150
↠ 8x + 54 = 150
SUBTRACT 54 to BOTH SIDES
8x + 54 - 54 = 150 - 54
CANCEL out: 54 - 54 because that gives you 0
KEEP: 150 - 54 because helps solve for x
↣150 - 54 = 96↢
NEW EQUATION: 8x = 96
DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES
8x/8 = 96/8
CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 96/8 because that gives the value of x
96/8 = x
x = 12
Answer: x = 12
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
