Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

To solve the equation, we would have to solve for the variable x.

34 - (x + 8) = 6x - 2

Remove the parentheses.

34 - x - 8 = 6x - 2

Add 2 to both sides and combine like terms.

28 - x = 6x

Add x to both sides.

28 = 7x

Swap sides.

7x = 28

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 4

So the solution to the equation would be x = 4

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying. :)
