Question

Solve for x.

5x−6=3x+10

x = 0.5

x = 1

x = 2

x = 8

Answer 1

The correct option is D) x=8.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`5x-6=3x+10`

We need to solve the equation for x.

Add 6 to both the sides.

`5x-6+6=3x+10+6`

`5x=3x+16`

Subtract both sides by 3x.

`5x-3x=3x-3x+16`

`2x=16`

Divide both side by 2.

`x=8`

Hence, the value of x is 8.

Therefore, the correct option is D) x=8.
