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
