Andre and Diego were each trying to solve `2x+6=3x-8`. Describe the first step they each make to the equation.

The result of Andre's first step was `-x+6=-8`.

He subtracted 3x from both sides. the next step would be to subtract 6 from -8 which would leave you with -x=-14 now you divide -14 by -x (-1) and you’ll get 14. x=14
