Answer 2

8x + 6 = 3

Step-by-step explanation if solving for x

Simplifying

8x + 6 = 3

Reorder the terms:

6 + 8x = 3

Solving

6 + 8x = 3

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 8x = 3 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 8x = 3 + -6

8x = 3 + -6

Combine like terms: 3 + -6 = -3

8x = -3

Divide each side by '8'.

x = -0.375

Simplifying

x = -0.375
