Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

5x - 6 = 3x - 8 ​

~Subtract 3x to both sides

5x - 6 - 3x = 3x - 8 - 3x

~Simplify

2x - 6 = -8

~Add 6 to both sides

2x - 6 + 6 = -8 + 6

~Simplify

2x = -2

~Divide 2 to both sides

2x/2 = -2/2

~Simplify

x = -1

-------------------------------------------------

Answer:


\large\boxed{x~=~-1}

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
