\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathtt{4x - (3x + 8) = 6 - 5x + 9}


\textsf{CONVERT the EQUATION to}


\mathtt{4x - 3x + 8 = 6 - 5x + 9}


\textsf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}


\mathtt{(4x - 3x) - (8) = (-5x) + (6 + 9)}


\mathtt{4x - 3x - 8 = -5x + 6 + 9}


\mathtt{1x - 8 = -5x + 15}


\mathtt{x - 8 = -5x + 15}


\textsf{ADD }-\textsf{5x to BOTH SIDES}


\mathtt{x - 8 + 5x = -5x + 15 + 5x}


\textsf{SIMPLIFY it (the usual way)}


\mathtt{6x - 8 = 15}


\textsf{ADD 8 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathtt{6x - 8 + 8 = 15 + 8}


\textsf{SIMPLIFY it (like we said before, the usual way)}


\mathtt{6x = 15 + 8}


\mathtt{6x = 23}


\textsf{DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathtt{(6x)/(6) = (23)/(6)}


\textsf{SIMPLIFY it (as per usual)}


\mathtt{x = (23)/(6)\approx x = 3(5)/(6)}


\huge\text{Therefore, the answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathtt{x = (23)/(5)\ or\ x = 3\frac{5}{{6}}}}\huge\checkmark\\\\\\\large\text{Either of these should work because they are EQUIVALENT to}\\\large\text{each other.}


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
