Question

What is x?
8x+6=5x+30

Answer 1

Answer: x= 8
Explanation:
8x+6= 5x+30
-5 5
3x+6= 30
-6 -6
_3x_=_24_ divide
3 3
X = 8

Answer 2

`\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`
