Question

What is the answer for 5x-2x+8=2+6x+6?

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=0}`

`\boxed{3x+8= 6x+8} \rightarrow \boxed{6x-3x=3x}\rightarrow \boxed{3x+8=8} \rightarrow \boxed{8-8=0} \rightarrow \boxed{3x=0} \rightarrow \boxed{x=0}`

Detailed Explanation

First, let's add the like terms

`5x-2x = 3x`

`6+2=8`

Now, we could solve.

`3x+8= 6x+8`

`6x-3x=3x`

`3x+8=8`

`8-8=0`

`3x=0`

`0 / 3=0`

Therefore, the answer would be x=0

`\boxed{x=0}`

Answer 2

5x - 2x + 8 = 2 + 6x + 6

Add like terms:

5x - 2x = 3x

2 + 6 = 8

3x + 8 = 6x + 8

To isolate the variable, subtract 6x from both sides of the equation:

3x - 6x = -3x

-3x + 8 = 8

Now subtract 8 from both sides:

8 - 8 = 0

-3x = 0

To finish, divide both sides by -3:

0 ÷ -3x = 0

The answer is x = 0

Hope this helps.
