Question 644325
{{{8(x+2)=6x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x+16=6x}}} Distribute.



{{{8x=6x-16}}} Subtract {{{16}}} from both sides.



{{{8x-6x=-16}}} Subtract {{{6x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=-16}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(-16)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-8}}}
