3x = x + 8

Step 1: Subtract x from both sides.

3x−x=x+8−x

2x=8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 8 /2

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

here's our equation: 3x=x+8

Our goal: to isolate x onto one side with nothing else on that side.

x is on both sides; we can subtract x from both sides to make the variables and numbers be on different sides

2x=8

Now we can divide by 2

x=4

Hope this helps! :)
