Answer:
x = 1
Explanation:
first subtract 6 from both sides
2x + 8 = 4x + 6
-6 -6
2x + 2 = 4x
Now get the variable on to one side by subtracting 2x from both sides
2x + 2 = 4x
-2x -2x
2 = 2x
Now divide both sides by two to get the value of x
2 (÷ 2) = 2x (÷ 2)
1 = x
x = 1
to check your work, plug in one for x
2x + 8 = 4x + 6
2(1) + 8 = 4(1) + 6
2 + 8 = 4 + 6
10 = 10
this statement is true which means the solution is true
Hope this helps!
