Answer:

x = -2

Explanation:

Since we know they will have the same output, we can set them equal to each other in an equation. We'll use x to represent the input.

3x + 6 = 8(x + 2) (Given)

3x + 6 = 8x + 16 (Distributed the 8)

6 = 5x + 16 (Subtracted 3x on both sides)

-10 = 5x (Subtracted 16 on both sides)

-2 = x (Divided 5 on both sides)
