You Must Solve For The Value Of X To Make The Equation True.
So, There Are Two Ways We Could Try This:
Guess And Check
Or
Solve

I Am Going To Show You How To Solve This Because That Is What You Need To Know. So, We First Need To Look At It.

6x + 3 = 2x + 8

So, we need to subtract 3 from the right side's 8 to begin.
The equation becomes:

6x = 2x + 5

Now, We Need To Simplify The 2x. Subtract 2x from 6x.
The Equation Becomes:

4x = 5

Now, Divide.

4x/4 = 1x = X

So,

X = 5/4

5/4 = 1 and 1/4

So

X = 1 ¼
