Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 8 = 3x + 6

so , we have to simplify this equation

method 1:

6x+8-6 = 3x+6-6 (subtracting the same number on both sides does not change value)

6x + 2 = 3x

6x + 2 -3x = 3x - 3x

6x -3x  + 2 = 0

3x = -2

x = -2/3

therefore x = -2/3  

method 2 : transposition

6x - 3x = 6-8

3x = -2

x = -2/3
