So, according to the question we have the following information:
6x - 2 - 8x + 15 = 5
So, in order to calculate the X we would have to make the following:
6x - 8x=5+2-15
6x-8x=-8. So now we have to proceed with the calculation of X as follows:
6x-8x=-2x,
Therefore, -2x=-8
Hence, x=-8/-2
X=4
So, X would be= 4
