Question

$$6x+5=2x-3$$

Solve for x

$x=-2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$6x+5-2x=-3$$

Combine $6x$ and $-2x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x+5=-3$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$4x=-3-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-3$ to get $-8$.

$$4x=-8$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$x=\frac{-8}{4}$$

Divide $-8$ by $4$ to get $-2$.

$$x=-2$$
