Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2−x+2=x+8
Add the numbers
3 + 2 − + 2 = + 8 3 + 4 − = + 8 2
Combine like terms
3 + 4 − = + 8 2 + 4 = + 8 3
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
Simplify
Subtract the numbers
2x+4−4=x+8−4
2 = + 8 − 4
Subtract the numbers
2 = + 4 5
Subtract x from both sides of the equation
2 = + 4 2 − = + 4 − 6
Simplify
Combine like terms
Multiply by 1
Combine like terms
= 4
Solution
= 4
