Hey there!

The answer to your question is x = 7

We can solve this by simplifying both sides of the equation:

2x - 6 = 8x - 48

Then, add 48 to both sides:

2x + 42 = 8x

Then, subtract 2x from both sides:

42 = 6x

Lastly, divide both sides by 6:

7 = x

Hope it helps! Have a great day, and good luck on your assignment!
