Question

6x+2=-8+3x+25 whats the answer to x?

Answer 1

x=5
6x+2=-8+3x+25
all common multiples on both side and get
6x+2=3x+17
subtract 2 from both sides and get
6x=3x+15
subtract 3x from both sides to get
3x=15
and then finally divide both sides by three to leave you with
x=5

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

To find the value of x make sure to get it on one side

First subtract 3x from each side. This makes the equation now

3x + 2 = -8 + 25

Now see what 25 subtract by 8 is (17)

3x + 2 = 17

Next subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 15

Lastly, divide 15 by 3, making x equal 5

x = 5
