2x - 8 = 3x + 2 + x - 6
2x-8= 3x+x+2-6
2x-8= 4x-4
Move 4x to the other side.
Sign changes from +4x to -4x.
2x-4x-8= 4x-4x-4
2x-4x-8=-4
-2x-8= -4
move -8 to the other side
sign changes from -8 to +8
-2x-8+8= -4+8
-2x= 4
divide by -2
-2x/-2=-4/2
cross out -2 and -2, divide by 2 and then becomes x
x= -2
Answer : x= -2
