Question

Solve the Equation

–x + 8 + 3x = x – 6
A. x = –18
B. x = –14
C. x = 2
D. x = 4

Answer 1

-x+8+3x=x-6

the first thing we need to do is move the x's to the left and the numbers to the right

when moving a number from one side to another it's sign is changed

-x+3x-x=-6-8

x=-14

Answer 2

x= -14

Explanation:

-x+3x-x=-8-6

x= -14
