Question

Solve for x:-
5x-6=3x-8

Answer 1

x=-1

Explanation:

5x-6=3x-8

5x-3x=-8+6

2x=-2

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 2

so,2x/2=-2/2

x=-1

Answer 2

x=-1

Explanation:

5x-6=3x-8

here

adding 8 on both side

5x-6+8= 3x-8+8

solving it

5x+2=3x

subtracting both side by 3x

5x-3x+2=3x-3x

2x+2=0

subtracting both side by 2

2x+2-2=0-2

2x=-2

dividing both side by 2

2x/2=-2/2

x=-1
