Simplifying

8x + -6 = 7x + 10

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 8x = 7x + 10

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 8x = 10 + 7x

Solving

-6 + 8x = 10 + 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 8x + -7x = 10 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 8x + -7x = 1x

-6 + 1x = 10 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

-6 + 1x = 10 + 0

-6 + 1x = 10

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 1x = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 1x = 10 + 6

1x = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: 10 + 6 = 16

1x = 16

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 16

Simplifying

x = 16

HOPE I HELPED!!! :)
