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]
