Question

2x + 8 = 6 need help

Answer 1

The given expression is

$2x+8=6$

First, we subtract 8 from each side

$\begin{gathered} 2x+8-8=6-8 \\ 2x=-2 \end{gathered}$

Then, we divide the equation by 2.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2x}{2}=-\frac{2}{2} \\ x=-1 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the solution is x = -1.
