Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+x−2x+8=3x+x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+x−2x+8=3x+x

3x+x+−2x+8=3x+x

(3x+x+−2x)+(8)=(3x+x)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+8=4x

2x+8=4x

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x+8−4x=4x−4x

−2x+8=0

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

−2x+8−8=0−8

−2x=−8

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x−2=−8−2

x=4
