Question

Help Please! solve the following equation:

8+2x+6=3x+12

I'm not sure how to work this one out, any help would be great THANKS!!!- Bree :)

Answer 1

@Bookworm14 8 + 2x + 6 = 3x + 12
2x + 14 = 3x + 12
2x + 14 - 3x = 3x + 12 - 3x
x + 14 = 12
x + 14 - 14 = 12 - 14
-x = -2
-x/-1 = -2/-1
x = 2

Answer 2

wouldn't 2x-3x be -x , instead of just x? (look in line 2-3)

Answer 3

8 + 2x + 6 = 3x + 12
8 + 6 - 12 = 3x - 2x
2 = x
