Answer:

it's X=1 and here is why

Explanation:

Problem: -2x+8 = -8x +14

step one add like terms: -2x + 8x +8 = 14

Step two add: 6x+8 = 14

Step three combine like terms: 6x = 14 -8

you then get this 6x = 6 than you need to subtract this and you get 1

thus the answer is

X=1

Hope this helps!

8 - 2x = -8x + 14 subtract 8 from both sides

-2x = -8x + 6 add 8x to both sides

6x = 6 divide both sides by 6

x = 1
