ANSWER:

A. subtract 2x

E. add 6

Explanation:

We have the following equatiion:


8x-6=2x+24

In the first step it is always a question of reducing the left side the most.

Therefore, you can add 6, to make that -6 equal to 0, and you can also subtract 2x to eliminate x from the right side of the equation.
