Answer is x=2

Step by step.
They are using tiles to represent “x” variable and # constants.

See
3x tiles and 8 constants = 4 x tiles + 6 constants

So

3x + 8 = 4x + 6

Subtract 4x from both sides to isolate x

3x - 4x + 8 = 4x - 4x + 6
Combine

-1x + 8 = 6

Now subtract 8 from both sides

-1x + 8 -8 = 6 - 8
Combine

-1x = -2

x = 2
