Question

Please help!! Will fan and medal!!

Solve the following algebraic equation
6x - 10 = 3x + 8

You have to figure out what x is, but x has to be the same and so does the answer for both of the equations in order for this to be correct

Answer 1

Okay first add 10 to both sides.

When you do this you should get: \(6x = 3x + 18\)

Answer 2

Simplifying
6x + -10 = 3x + 8

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 6x = 3x + 8

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 6x = 8 + 3x

Solving
-10 + 6x = 8 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 6x + -3x = 8 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x
-10 + 3x = 8 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-10 + 3x = 8 + 0
-10 + 3x = 8

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + 3x = 8 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + 3x = 8 + 10
3x = 8 + 10

Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18
3x = 18

Divide each side by '3'.
x = 6

Simplifying
x = 6

Answer 4

Then, subtract \(3x\) from both sides.

When you do this you should get: \(3x = 18\)

Answer 5

Now divide 3 from both sides.

You should get: \(x = 6\)
