Question 472072
{{{5x-6=3x-8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x=3x-8+6}}} Add {{{6}}} to both sides.



{{{5x-3x=-8+6}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=-8+6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=-2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-2)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1}}} Reduce.
