Answer:

Explanation:

Simplify

6 + -3x = 5x + -10x + 8

terms:

6 + -3x = 8 + 5x + -10x

Combining like terms: 5x + -10x = -5x

6 + -3x = 8 + -5x

Solving

6 + -3x = 8 + -5x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. (Remember)

Add '5x' to each side of the equation.

6 + -3x + 5x = 8 + -5x + 5x

Combine the like terms -3x + 5x = 2x

6 + 2x = 8 + -5x + 5x

Combine the like terms again -5x + 5x = 0

6 + 2x = 8 + 0

6 + 2x = 8

Then '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 2x = 8 + -6

Combine the like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 2x = 8 + -6

2x = 8 + -6

Combine the like terms: 8 + -6 = 2

2x = 2

Then divide each side by '2'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1
