Question 845280
{{{6x-2x+8=x+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x+8=x+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=x+5-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{4x-x=5-8}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=5-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-3)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



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

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-1}}}
