10x – 4 – 5x = 6 + 3x – 8 First, we could desire to transpose. this means which you may desire to flow all like words on one part. in this equation we could desire to flow each and all the words with "x" and each and all the numerals.once you transpose a quantity style one part to a diverse, the sign transformations. enable us to start up. 10x-5x-3x=6+-8+4 ( + beside - is likewise -) I transfered 3x to the different part so it grew to become -3x. comparable with -4 = 4 on the different part. while you're growing to be puzzled, enable us to try this one via one. 10x – 4 – 5x = 6 + 3x – 8 (First choose for 3x) 10x-4-5x-3x=6-8 (Then for the quantity 4) 10x-5x-3x=6-8+4. we've: 10x-5x-3x=6-8+4 combine like words on the two facets: 1st: 10x-5x-3x. start up with the two negatives. (-5x and -3x) which will grow to be -8x. Then proceed: 10x-8x=2x 2nd: the two positives: 6 and four= 10 So, 10-8 is two. For the different part we've: 2x And the different: 2 So, 2x=2 the x could desire to be remoted. and to try this, you may desire to divide the two facets via 2. 2x/2=2/2 (2x/2 cancel the two 2 and a couple of/2 is one million, as a result leaving us with x and one million) the respond is: x=one million

8 - 3(x - 2) = x - 6
8 - 3x + 6 = x - 6
8 - 3x + 6 - 6 = x - 6 - 6
8 - 3x = x - 12
8 - 8 - 3x = x - 12 - 8
-3x = x - 20
-3x - x = x - x - 20
-4x = -20
x = 5

8 - 3(x - 2) = x - 6
Perform multiplication first using distributive property
8 - 3x + 6 = x - 6
14 - 3x = x - 6
Subtract 14 to both sides of the equation
-3x = x - 20
Subtract x to both sides of the equation
-4x = -20
Divide both sides of the equation by -4
x = 5

8-3(x-2)= x-6
8-(3x-6)=x-6
8-3x+6=x-6
-3x+14=x-6
-3x-14=x-6-14
-3x=x-20
-3x-x=x-x-20
-4x=-20
------------
-4 = -4
x=5
