Answer:


\tt x=-9

Explanation:


\tt 6x + 8 = 3x - 19

Subtract 8 from both sides:-


\tt 6x+8-8=3x-19-8


\tt 6x=3x-27

Subtract 3x from both sides:-


\tt 6x-3x=3x-27-3x


\tt 3x=-27

Divide both sides by 3:-


\tt \cfrac{3x}{3}=\cfrac{-27}{3}


\tt x=-9

The vaule of x that makes the equation true is A) x= -9.

Answer:

A. x = -9

Explanation:

6x + 8 = 3x - 19 <== subtract 3x from both sides

-3x -3x

3x + 8 = -19 <== subtract 8 from both sides

- 8 - 8

3x = -27 <== divide both sides by 3

/3 /3

x = -9

Hope this helps!
