\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{8x+6=5x+30}


\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 5x to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{8x+6-5x=5x+30-5x}


\large\text{Simplify above to get your new equation}\uparrow


\rightarrow\mathsf{3x +6=30}


\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 6 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{3x +6-6=30-6}


\large\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{6 - 6} because that gives you 0}


\large\text{KEEP: \textsf{30 - 6} because it helps you solve for your x value.}


\mathsf{30-6=\bf 24}


\large\text{New EQUATION: \textsf{3x = 24}}


\mathsf{3x = 24}


\large\textsf{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(3x)/(3)=(24)/(3)}


\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(3)/(3)}\large\text{ because it gives you 1}


\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(24)/(3)}\large\text{ because it helps solve for x}


\large\text{New EQUATION: }\mathsf{(24)/(3)=x}


\mathsf{(24)/(3)=24/3=\bf 8}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 8}}}\huge\checkmark


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