can you show me the steps to find 3x-5=6x-8?

OpenStudy (alanturing):

Okay \[3x - 5 = 6x - 8\] \[3x - 6x = -8 + 5\] \[-3x = -3\] \[x = -3/-3\] \[x = 1\]

OpenStudy (taylarm7):

OpenStudy (taylarm7):

OpenStudy (alanturing):

The sign changes when you take the operand to the other side of the equation.
