Question

What is the first step in solving this equation 8x - 6 = 10​

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{X=2}`

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember to solve this problem, addition property of equality is adding both sides of an equation to the same number doesn't change the equation.

First, add 6 from both sides.

`\displaystyle 8x-6+6=10+6`

Solve.

`\displaystyle 10+6=16`

`\displaystyle 8x=16`

Next, divide by 8 from both sides.

`\displaystyle (8x)/(8)=(16)/(8)`

Then, solve.

`\displaystyle 16/8=2`

Therefore, the correct answer is x=2.

Hope this helps!

Have a wonderful blessing day! :)

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Isolate the variable by adding 6 to both sides.
