Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+8=3x-6

Subtract 3x from each side

5x-3x+8=3x-3x-6

2x+8 = -6

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = -6-8

2x = -14

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -14/2

x = -7

Answer: x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5x+8=3x-6[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]

[tex]5x+8-8=3x-6-8[/tex]

[tex]5x=3x-14[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}3x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]

[tex]5x-3x=3x-14-3x[/tex]

[tex]2x=-14[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Divide\:2\:\:on\:\:both\:sides\:}[/tex]

[tex]-14/2=-7[/tex]

[tex]x=-7[/tex]
