Answer 2

Answer:

Hence the value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the above question.

It is given that, the equation is $2x+6=8x-12$

We have to find the value of x from the given equation.

Thus, the equation is as follow,

$2x+6=8x-12$

Making similar terms one side for that shifting 8x from RHS to LHS so there will be sign change from +8x to -8x and shifting 6 from LHS to RHS again the sign will change from +6 to -6.

$2x-8x=-12-6\\-6x=-18$

when two -ve sign like (-1-1) it will do addition that is (-2)with sign negative

Cancelling -ve sign from both sides we get,

$6x=18$

Divide 6 both sides we get,

$x=\frac{18}{6} \\x=\frac{9}{3}\\x=3$
