Question

Solve for x. Please show your work. 2x + 6 = 3x - 2

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x + 6 = 3x - 2$

then subtract the 6 from both sides of the equation

$2x = 3x - 8$

then subtract the 3x from both sides of the equation

$- 1x = - 8$

then divide each side by -1

$x = 8$
