Answer:
1. Expand.
8x-6-8=4+2x8x−6−8=4+2x
2. Simplify 8x-6-88x−6−8 to 8x-148x−14.
8x-14=4+2x8x−14=4+2x
3. Add 1414 to both sides.
8x=4+2x+148x=4+2x+14
4. Simplify 4+2x+144+2x+14 to 2x+182x+18.
8x=2x+188x=2x+18
5. Subtract 2x2x from both sides.
8x-2x=188x−2x=18
6. Simplify 8x-2x8x−2x to 6x6x.
6x=186x=18
7.Divide both sides by 66.
x=\frac{18}{6}x= 18/6
8. Simplify \frac{18}{6}
6
18 to 33.
x=3x=3
