Mathematics

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x the given equation: 3x-2=x+8

the goal when solving for equations is to isolate the variable onto one side, and have the number (value of what x is) on the other side

here's the equation:

3x-2=x+8

first, add 2 to both sides

3x-2=x+8

   +2   +2

___________

3x=x+10 (2 goes away on the left side, as -2+2=0)

now, subtract x from both sides

3x=x+10

-x   -x

______

2x=10 (x goes away on the right side, as x-x=0)

we have the variable isolated on one side, with the number on the other, but we need the value of x by itself (1x)

divide both sides by 2

x=5 (because 2x/2=1x, or x. 10/2=5).

therefore, the value of x is 5

Hope this helps!
