How to solve? 3x + 2 = 5x – 6

OpenStudy (asevilla5):

3x+2=5x-6 subtract 3x on both sides to get 2=2x-6 then add 6 on both sides to get 8=2x then divide both sides by 2 and theres your answer

Can you check one more to see if I did it correctly?

OpenStudy (asevilla5):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x – 2 = 8 Add 2 from both sides get 2x = 10 then divide by 2 which is x = 5

OpenStudy (asevilla5):
